ALL THE THINGS

I once made a list of all the things I thought I would've done by now.  Great adventures, big improvements, very impressive achievements. 

The list was longer than my arm. 

The day was not.

For a moment, I felt rather disappointed in myself.  Then I wondered, what if I made a new list of what I have actually done.

I wrote ...

I stayed

I tried

I loved

I got back up

I breathed through difficult mornings

It turned out to be a very good list indeed.

If you think you're behind who you were meant to be by now, try counting what you have survived instead of what you have not achieved.

You may discover you are far more successful than you ever knew.
