Overachievers unite!
You know, as Disco so eloquently pointed out…I too, realize we aren’t as ‘bad’ as what we made ourselves out to be. One of the things we took away from the UNSeminar is that we HAVE accomplished a LOT in our short time together and our short time on the planet. We’ve dedicated time to our family and made adventure a top priority. We’ve committed to our marriage fun and love and craziness. We’ve set some goals along the way that we achieved working together. And, we’ve managed to find our way to the top of wage earners while watching 200 hours plus tv a month. Yes, we’ve experienced our own setbacks, yes, we’ve encountered difficulty, and yes, most undoubtedly, we will again. I really believe the main thing here is to step back and see what HAS been accomplished and to drink in the achievements. At the UNSeminar, that’s probably one of the few times I really took in all that we’ve accomplished. Not that we aren’t grateful, but rather, really soaked in what we’ve created to date. Truly thinking about how we’ve worked together to do what we set out to do. It was sobering. I believe, like all overachievers, the thrill is in the chase - in the challenge of the creation - and it is often a good thing to come back and delight in what is. No, it’s a good thing to OFTEN delight in what is - in the now - in this moment, which, really, is all we have. So, tonight, I find myself celebrating all the triumphs, the frustrations, the setbacks, the achievements and all that we are together.
I wish for you the same…take a moment to think of all you have done that you would consider a ‘good thing.’ If you want, make a list! Soak it in…you deserve it!
Hugs,
Tina
