The thing about long-term, hard-fought, hurdle-after-hurdle, brick-wall-scab-on-your-forehead, hyphenated projects is that when things start happening, you may not be prepared. Instead, you may be surprised and a little overwhelmed. It’s scary to take a peek. What If after all your hard work it’s not right? It’s not what you envisioned?
You,may be in disbelief after so much struggle or you could simply be conditioned to the battle. You were so busy planning and pushing to execute, you didn’t have time to think about the fruits of your labor. Or maybe, even though you didn’t give up, it seemed out of reach.
And now, things are happening.
Don’t be afraid. You created it. You earned it, probably with blood, sweat, tears and your heart. You’re probably not the type to rest on your laurels. You know as good as this may be, you’re going to keep tweaking. But you must take a minute, take a breath, and enjoy what you have accomplished. Revel in it a bit, when no one is watching. Then use this successful completion to springboard to your next mission.
This is happening.
Look at what you did!
