What Do You See?

"One never sees what has been done, one only sees what needs to be done."~Marie Curie

How often do you look and admire, respect, glow about what you have accomplished? We are so busy trying to do all that needs to be done, we don't take the time to enjoy what we have done already!

It's not vainglorious to admire what we have done, in fact, it should inspire us to do even more. I know that when I do something well, I look to see what else I can do to the same level. We need to Claim what we have done as our own.

Where is your vision, both your eyesight and your mental vision? What are you focusing on? Does that focus allow you to enjoy what you've done? Why not? We don't reward ourselves enough for what we do. We are always trying to do more.

Thoreau had it right when he went to Walden Pond and asked himself if he was the richest man in New England because of what surrounded him, or if it was because he had so little need for anything else...

Give yourself a 5 minute party today and celebrate your achievements and then go back to doing what needs to be done. I guarantee you that it will make your day and you will have a different outlook on doing the things that need to be done!

"One never sees what has been done, one only sees what needs to be done."
