I have this come up a lot with my clients, friends, colleagues, and even myself!
We focus on “where we want to get.”
That elusive destination that will assure us that we made it.
Yet, it’s the steps along the way, the foundation, the momentum, the movement, that gets us there.
It’s often these steps we don’t fully see or honor.
Why?
We’re focused on the summit. The mountain top. The big dream.
Yet, did you know that that continuously changes?
When you reach one peak, you already have your eyes on the next one.
See, life is a journey. We don’t just make it to one place, we are consistently making it with each step!
The little steps ARE the big steps!
And when we pause, to really feel that, and allow ourselves to CELEBRATE that…
–We ARE doing it! We are making progress towards our dreams and goals.
–We’re taking the actions and things are happening…
Then our motivation and momentum increases.
We see it. We feel it. We appreciate it! And what you appreciate grows and expands…
Yes you will reach mountain tops!
More than you can fathom.
Keep celebrating the steps you are taking… for they are part of the mountain too… they are part of the journey of YOU.
What step can you celebrate today?
Oceans of love and blessings,
Here's a poem that flowed through about this:
There will always be mountains to climb.
Somewhere you’re trying to be.
Celebrate where you are today.
The joy is in the journey.
If your goal seems far off.
Somewhere you just can’t reach.
The blessing is in the now.
It has secrets to teach.
Each step is a milestone.
It’s somewhere you weren’t before.
To enter a new room
You must first open the door.
Take time to celebrate
Where you are today
And see how far you’ve come
From the steps of yesterday.
Love, Bobbie Jo
