Progress

Progress is one of those regular topics we go over throughout the year this year. How has it become such a sore spot for everyone? I understand that we want to feel like we are going somewhere with our lives. However, if you continually look to where you want to be and not appreciate where you are, you are certain to never get there. 

There are many forms of progress. Just because you can't see it at the moment does not mean it doesn't exist. Some days see more progress than others, but I look at myself at the end of the day and ask what changed in the last 24 hours. I'm not picky, sometimes anything will do. If you look hard enough, it's easy to see change, even if it is the same change for several days. There is still progress! Looking too far ahead in your life does not allow you to look closer at the little things happening now. 

I'm not saying it is bad to have goals and look towards the future, but you need to take life in bite sized pieces. "How do you eat an entire field's worth of potatoes? One bite at a time." Don't mind the analogy, I just happen to really like potatoes.  

Take care everyone.
