What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.–Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am grateful for check marks that denote which goals, or tasks have been completed.
Sometimes in the daily bustle that is life, I tend to forget to acknowledge the gains I have made towards goals. For example, I may weigh myself every morning, but when I don’t see any movement on the scale, I don’t give myself credit for still making good choices when it comes to eating. Then all of a sudden I move down in either shirt or pant size, and I think to myself. “Where did the weight go?”
These seemingly little events are the check marks I’m talking about. They represent another task on my grand to-do list, that gets to be written off as completed. Although I am not yet exactly where I want to be, I have finished that one small goal, that will lead me to finish the ultimate goal.
When you take on life as a whole, it sure can be overwhelming, at least for me. But when I break it down into the little 24 hour blocks that make up the day, then break those down into their 60 minute counterparts, and deal with only those, then things seem to be much easier. Life still happens, but only one minute at a time.
I have received so many check marks here lately, so I know I am on the right path, heading in the right direction, things I have needed to accomplish in my life for so long are now being addressed.
So this morning, I am grateful for the check marks in life that remind me of all the tasks I have completed, that each add up to one more step, on that thousand step journey I am on.
