I really want to reach my goals…I really want to make progress…I want to see that progress…I want to appreciate that progress…I want to know that that progress is happening…But sometimes, that progress is happening so slowly…It doesn’t feel like I’m making progress at all…It feels like treading water…It feels like one step forward, one step back…It feels like I’m even sliding a little bit…But I give myself permission to know…That there are going to be times…When it doesn’t look like I’m moving forward at all…It doesn’t look like I’m making progress…But the action that I am taking…Is moving me forward…I just can’t see it…Because it’s happening in the background…Knowing that the fruits of all of this work…Will show up in one giant step forward…Much like the way a plant grows…It looks like it sprung out of the ground overnight…But in reality, lots of work was happening under the surface…That didn’t look like progress at all…But then the progress showed up…Then it came shooting forward…My work is no different…The steps I’m taking…Even if they don’t look like they’re bearing fruit today…Are adding up with lots of other steps…And all of it’s going to come together in a moment…I know it feels like a slog…I know it feels like I’m not making progress…But I give myself permission…To recognize the fact that I am making progress…Even if it’s going unseen.
