We can become so critical
of ourselves when we don’t
“accomplish” all we set out
to do, or fail to meet “goals”
(self-imposed or otherwise).
In doing, so we neglect our
efforts in making an attempt
or discount the mental energy
it took to get as far as we did.
Sometimes just dealing with
the anxiety of the moment,
or finding a little extra time
in between all the other undue
expectations, is a monumental
task and should be recognized,
if not rewarded. Sometimes
progress is just showing up.
