PRESS PAUSE.

Grind grind grind. Goals goals goals. Win win win. More more more. PAUSE! How does that feel? Press pause. Let it sink it. Acknowledge what you have accomplished thus far and REALLY absorb it. You’re doing well – maybe not exactly where you want to be yet, but further than you were.

We are all moving so quickly every single day just trying to achieve – but we rarely acknowledge. This is not a race – this is a journey. Start viewing things you do as a part of the journey to endlessness rather than a position in a race to the finishline. Try new things and be excited when you fail – this is how you will grow. The time will pass regardless whether you like it or not – so if you choose to keep planning and talking about what you would like to do, instead of actually doing it; next year you will find yourself right here still contemplating, when you could have been a year ahead.

Not all of these lectures will be long – in fact, many of them will be short like this one. Sometimes we need that spark to ignite our flame again before it dies out completely. You’re fine. You’re alright. Stop looking so far ahead. Stop looking so far behind. Acknowledge this time you have right here in the present and exploit it for all its potential.
