Sometimes we all need a reminder of where we have been and to compare that with where we are now. The end of the year is a great time to take a bit of time to do just that.
If you keep a journal that makes it easier to go back and see how much progress you have made in your journey of personal development. Has your attitude changed and if it did, was that a change for the better? Have you achieved many of your goals or at least made progress? Have you forgiven anyone you felt hurt you and ask anyone you might have hurt to forgive you? Did you let go of any useless feelings of guilt, anger or frustration?
Will you end the year happier than you started it? Did you help make anyone’s moment, day, week or year better? The list of possible questions is endless.
Yes, at the heart of all of these questions is the real question; are you moving forward, backward or standing still? Well, okay, there really is no such thing as standing still, the law of momentum means that you are always in motion, but in this context I mean are you taking one step forward then one backwards because of habits? If you are then consider that moving forward. Why? Because you are working to move forward and each time you do that you are taking a bigger step forward, so if you slip and step back it’s not as far as you went forward. It’s also acquiring a new habit-one that will develop and allow you to move forward without any steps back. And if you are a regular reader of this blog or any other self growth material then you must be making some forward progress.
How far will you move forward in the coming year? Hmmm, that is another thing to think about, right?
