Today I heard a fellow employee judge in severe terms a project that was at best 50% complete. It reminded me of a recent email I received that said: "Any attempt to measure one's progress in life with an assessment of their present physical surroundings, or even a panoramic glance at their life and times to date, is just plain "wacked". The reason being is that each journey, kind of like a haircut, should never be fully appraised until it's complete. Otherwise one might mistake a miracle-in-the-making for a setback"
This also got me thinking about how often we feel like a failure if events or realities do not meet our expectations as to result, time, amount, or quantity. Maybe we should cut ourselves some slack and let the universe worry about the results, and just live our lives one day at a time to the best of our abilities and desires.
Live well and prosper
