It is easy to forget how far we have come. Usually we measure everything by how far we have to go. Rarely do we sit back and congratulate ourselves on how far we have come. It's important to do that.
It's important for a couple of reasons. Number one it can be very motivating to see what you have accomplished. You can use that motivation for the next part of your journey. I did "this" so I can surely do "that".
It's important too because it helps us remember that life is a process. We go from here to there usually one step at a time. Some things happen in grand sweeps of activity but life usually is a little more deliberate than that. Step by step we get there.
And remembering can also place you in a state of gratitude. It's easy to forget struggle and pain once it has pasted. But we need to be grateful for coming through whatever it was.
There are people who do not make it through tough times. If you have made it this far..be grateful. I am. And that I do not want to ever forget.
