I’m still going like the Energizer Bunny. Right now I’m into the easy phase of the challenge. I’ve gotten the grove going and now it feels like something I can do.
I know from past challenges that it is fixing to get hard again. There is a lull before the storm always. And if we prepare for those ruff times, the ruff times will be easier to navigate.
I’m learning to keep going, hang onto what is happening now, and enjoy the present. But also looking back for the pride of who I have become. Not just in the last 30 days, but in my entire life.
If you are like me, I’ve accomplished some cool stuff. I don’t really think it was cool until I had someone else tell me I’ve lived a pretty exciting life. I bet you would feel the same way if someone else told you your life story as their own.
In the rare case you haven’t done anything yet. I say rare, because we’ve all accomplished something to be proud of. Even my 10 year old son has a YouTube channel where he records, edits, and posts all his own stuff. He likes to film himself playing video games because that is what he like to watch. You can find his channel here. A lot of his friends think it’s pretty cool just to be able to watch him on Youtube.
If you think you haven’t done anything, ask someone that knows you. They will tell you why your life is cool and what you’ve accomplished.
While we look back with pride, we should also look forward with an eye on the horizon. We should see and welcome the challenges coming and be prepared for them.
Life is all about change. Nothing stays the same.
Look back at what you have accomplished and find the pride in yourself.
Enjoy this moment right now for it truly is the present… and a gift that should be enjoyed.
Look up and see what is coming. Enjoy the challenges a head and prepare for them.
