Afterglow

There is nothing like a sense of accomplishment. Everyone needs to take a moment and celebrate small victories. I tell my kids on Friday, “you made it through the week.” I tell my co-workers, “we made it to Friday!” Sometimes, its just making it through that phone call, that difficult conversation, that appointment, that meeting or that moment. Life can be so intense. We need to breathe. We need to sigh. We need to relax. We need to unwind. The afterglow comes after we take that moment. Its when you look at the freshly cut yard. Its when you finished cleaning your home. Its when you've taken a shower at the end of a long , trying day. Bask in today’s accomplishments. Bask in today’s victories. Bask in today’s afterglow.

Destination

You should always have a destination in mind. A place that you would like to end up. A goal. Some destinations can be short term goals, and some can be long term goals. Goals give your life direction. They give your life meaning. Purpose. Insight. What do you want to accomplish today? What do you want to experience this month? Where would you like to travel this year? All of these are destinations. Create your own adventure. Experience all that life has to offer. Pick a destination and make steps towards that journey. 

"The bottom line is: We must be working on arriving at the destination for which we were put on this planet."- Yehuda Berg
