So I was talking to a friend (who actually isnt on here) today. They were talking about how happy they were for me and how proud they were of me. This person has known me for about a decade. Theyve seen me in all kinds of states of stress, happiness, unhappiness, single, dating, married, divorced, employed, unemployed, fit, tired, fed up, and...well basically everything in between. As they were commending me, I gave my typical I try. response. Their response, along with my instant reaction to their response actually touched me. They responded: You do. Should say you accomplish or succeed instead of your try at least from an outsiders viewpoint I immediately shot back Meh...Im not where I want to be, but this journey is far from over! I realized as I re-read and, yes, over-analyzed this exchange, as I am inclined to do, that I really dont give myself credit for all that I have accomplished and all I do. I am a perfectionist in some ways and use that to drive myself to do more. So today I give myself credit. Today I will take the time to reflect on all those plates I manage to keep spinning on those skinny little sticks and what a feat that truly is. Take time today to give yourself credit. You are worth it. Youll never be exactly where you want to be or where you thought youd be, but knowing that and taking the time to reflect and give yourself credit for all the things you HAVE done will give you more than any of those accomplishments will ever give you individually. #biggerpicture #myjourney #accomplish #succeed #tackle #doitforyou
