Kim. Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 A big part of feeling self-satisfaction is being able to look back on the day's events in your life and see what you have accomplished. It does not have to be one of those long-term dream goals. I used to think this way. I used to get frustrated with myself when I wasn't seeing results fast enough. The only thing I can describe as heading to the pinnacle of my goals is the following metaphor: a ladder. (I actually hate climbing ladders myself . Scared of heights lolol.) One starts at the bottom and climbs each rung to a climatic point--a point where there is some sort of measurable break-through. A good friend of mine, last week, had explained the following to me: "Failure is just a small part towards success". That was a hefty impact, especially since I despise knowing that I have failed something, even though failure is a subjective concept. But, looking at it this way offers perspective: Three rungs up on the ladder, you misstep and land two steps down, which is very nostalgic of the game "Chutes and Ladders". Missteps show growth, and there are two sides to an issue depending on your state of mind and emotional attitude toward the issue at hand. Outlining things which you have done today, objectively, gets you back on the path of foward momentum, or climbing again. It's a large counter-effort. ---------- What I've done today: -Got up and read some feel-good articles. -Listened to some of my favorite music. -Got the gumption to put on my tour jersey for today's training ride and cycled 9.18 miles (14.77 kilometres) in an hour. =D What have YOU done today?!

Kim. Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I got up in time for breakfastAm doing my reading for class nowWent to workChanged my FB language to Spanish Congrats on changing your Facebook language to Spanish. I never tried to do that. Seems like a great thing to do if you want to get acclimated to new vocabulary. =) Had breakfast. Filmed an interview about a nature reserve/bush walk Sounds like an interesting film. I've always sort of been interested in the technical aspects of film, and multimedia, but I wouldn't be able to have it as a career. Just a personal preference, so I admire those who study for those variety of subjects. ---- *I: -Got up this morning, showered, and made breakfast.-Walked to a local shop to see about a job prospect and I was offered several options.-Ran 3.05 miles (or almost 5 kilometres) in 42 minutes.-Stopped at the store to pick up a new three pack of meh fav gum, and then stopped at my cell phone carrier to make an adjustment to my plan (save money). -Posted =P and about to have a snack now.
