When I run races, like a 5k or a Warrior Dash, I love when they have mile markers. Why? It doesn't change the fact that I've ran a certain distance or I have a certain distance to go. It helps (or can hurt) my mentality about where I'm at and how I'm doing.
It gives me some bearings.
Truth is we do this in life.
New Years,
Birthdays,
Christmas,
Anniversaries,
Doctor visits,
Dentist visits,
Beginning of school years,
End of school years,
Start of new relationships....
The truth is we grow because we have these events. We examine where we are in these moments, reflect of our previous actions, and set course for where we are going.
They help us get our bearings.
This is a very powerful tool, and what is awesome is that you can harness it more frequently if you decide to.
Maybe it could be every Sunday...
then every Sunday and Wednesday.....
then every evening before bed....
then every evening and morning....
then every meal....
then.....
The "mile marker" can be hard to discipline yourself to see, but the truth is they are already there. You just need to make yourself aware and adjust.....then grow.
WIth Humility.
