Sometimes, when working on personal mastery, it is easy to get focused on all the thing that still need to be improved. It can be difficult to see exactly what we have already accomplished on our path. To learn how to get better we must reflect on the things that have made us better and the ways in which we ARE better.
There are many times we feel like what we want is the attention and respect of others when in fact we simply want to feel loved, respected and accepted. The best way to get those feelings is to give them to ourselves. No matter how you may feel about yourself, at least you can say you have made the effort to improve. Every small step adds up.
It often feels that we keep climbing and climbing but when was the last time you stopped to enjoy the view? When was the last time you thought about what you are climbing for? When was the last time you stopped to see if you are even on the right mountain or if you want to be on a mountain at all? Maybe the beach would be better.
Give yourself a chance to be human every once in a while. Your lessons and challenges will still be there tomorrow. Take some time to savor and share your victories, if only with yourself. You've earned it.
