Discounting Achievements

ONE THING that continues to surprise me is my innate ability to discount the many things I have managed to achieve.

When there are lots of things on your to do list, and it seems to grow every day, it's too easy to keep focusing on what's next, rather than taking a moment to reflect and be happy about what you have managed to achieve.

It can be overlooking the small wins and beautiful moments that have occurred in your day.

Or it can be the amazing, unexpected and rewarding detours and destinations that your life has taken.

Not everything is rosy - obviously. But maybe, just for now, get your achievements out of the "marked down" bin at the back of the store, and spend a little of your precious time recalling rather than dismissing what you have managed to do, and see, and be.
