A quote I’m pondering

“We have such a long way to go,” sighed the boy.

“Yes, but look how far we’ve come,” said the horse.

Charlie Mackesy – The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

An insight from conversation

It’s so easy to get caught up in the challenges and opportunities ahead of us. Rarely do we seem to pause and reflect on the progress made.

If we look back to just a year ago, it can expand our perspective enough to recognise the ups and the downs. The effort put in. The progress made.

It can be valuable for two reasons.

Firstly, even if only briefly, it can create a sense of gratitude for progress. For where we are right now. In this moment.

Or, if we’re not where we’d like it to be, then a reflection can help us recognise that we have a choice today to do something differently.

Where were you a year ago?

An action I’m taking

I’ve shuffled my workflow planning to allow me to have a single view of both my future long game and also my completed “missions” – the big goals or projects that I’ve worked through over the last few years. The combination keeps me both excited for the future and appreciative of the moment.

Is there one of these that really stood out for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions whether that’s a favourite quote or something else.

I hope you have a great week ahead.

With love,
