I’m making progress!



I’m making progress! The problem is that I want to make it all in one day! I get frustrated because I tend to look for extreme and immediate results, but most of the time that’s not the way that life works. So shall I spend most of my life being agitated, or learn to view things from a different perspective?  I’m not where I was, nor where I will be, so I can only enjoy where I am – if I choose to - NOW. I need not live in regret or disappointment and frustration of things that haven’t happened yet. But I will embrace the present reality, which is either a dream or a nightmare depending upon how I choose to look at it. The temptation is to focus on all the negative things, things undone and what has yet to become. But the inspiration is to focus on the good and what has been done and what is yet to become. So my epiphany for the day is that “I’m making progress” which is simply moving forward, onward and upward. I won’t say “I’m not where I want to be!” because that’s futility since I have no choice in the matter. It doesn’t matter if “I’m not where I want to be” because the truth is, that that is where I am. And if I can’t learn to enjoy where I am – NOW, then I will never be where I want to be. I am where I am, I am who I am, and I’m making progress! Life is good! Enjoy it – NOW!
