Stay Upon the Wall

Have you ever found yourself running your race with such a sense of purpose that you lost track of the miles? Perhaps you were so busy laying down the tracks that you did not realize what you were accomplishing.

And then you reached a destination, or a pit stop and you paused and turned around and said to yourself, “Wow!” You could not believe the body of work you produced nor the abundant fruits of your toil and labor. 

Review some of those pet projects and you too may find yourself saying, ‘Aha.’ Pause and take a look at what you have already done. Whether it is painting, writing, carpentry, speaking or teaching, to name a few, you should never totally rest on your laurels. However, it never hurts to give yourself a pat on the back and acknowledge what you have been able to get done.
