Better Than You Think


Sometimes we don’t really appreciate the significance of what we accomplish.

Did give yourself a pat on the back for completing that mountain of laundry?

How about cooking three meals for your family?

If you finished high school, pat yourself on the back.

If you finished college and you have a job, two pats for you.

In my own life, I have learned to appreciate simple accomplishments and great feats that I complete.

This week, I was reminded of that when I received an email from Chris at Script Frenzy. Script Frenzy is an incredible event that takes place in the month of April. The goal is to write a 100 page script (movie, screenplay, etc) in 30 days.

This is my second year to participate. In his email, he stated that of the total number of people who signed up, 10% met the goal.

WOW! It got me to thinking. I met the competition’s goal and in fact, exceeded the number of pages, but when I finished I didn’t stop to consider that others wouldn’t make it across the finish line.

I’m not telling you this to get my pat on the back but to illustrate the fact that often in our lives we do extraordinary things in the course of our everyday lives.

BUT… we forget to stop and acknowledge the magnitude of that achievement.

There are many things happening every day that cause anxiety and worry but you have the power in your own life to recognize your amazing achievements.

Please, do me a favor and stop to congratulate yourself.

You are an awesome person!

You are an invaluable member of your apartment community!

You rock!

So…. now that you’ve finished reading my blog, take a moment before you return to your schedule or inbox and remember one thing that makes you proud of yourself.

If more than one reason comes to mind, then by all means toot your horn a little louder.

Thanks for being the incredible person that you are.
