Instead of posting some words of wisdom or some technique that will really take you to the next level, I thought perhaps I'd do a rant. I haven't done a rant in a while and I'm a little out of practice; so here goes.
Why is it that people don't notice that they are succeeding?
I have example after example of clients, friends and family who are actually making progress in their individual battles with the world, their partner, their weight, etc. and STILL they refuse to see that progress.
Maybe it's too small of a progression for them to see? Maybe it's such a small part of all the things they are dealing with that it seems obscured by the sheer volume of things they are attempting to accomplish? Maybe their chunk size is just too big? Whatever the reason, for today, I've had enough! This post is to all of the people who have been diligently working on some goal(s).
HEY YOU! yeah, you. Without your conscious awareness you've succeeded. You've won. The stepping stone that you've worked so hard to achieve, for today, HAS BEEN REACHED.
Now it's time for you to STOP and DO THE NAKED HAPPY DANCE! This is the wild unbridled acceptance that in this time, at this moment, on this planet YOU ARE A WINNER.
STOP WHAT YOUR DOING AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH, pause and reflect on all you've been through, exhale and relax into this moment and ENJOY IT. I cannot guarantee what tomorrow will bring or even if there will be a tomorrow; there is only today, this moment, this breath and it belongs to you.
Enjoy it...

ROFL - no worries here, I do the nekkid happy dance (Texan) far too often!
So true that we often keep ourselves focused on our desired end result, that we may not celebrate all the small but very important successes along the way. Looks like we need to modify our definition of success to encompass the journey too-- You are fabulous as always-- lots of "Nekkid" dancing people out there b/c of you today! (Loved that spelling from Virginia!)
