Day 8

The earned reward is so sweet.

When I take on a project, I like to imagine it in my mind. I imagine how it will go. No matter the challenge I imagine it going smoothly and according to plan. But no matter the planning and ability to do the challenge something can go not according to plan. You can’t plan or imagine every possible snag.

If you are doing something you really enjoy, you won’t mind the occasional snag. Having something not be in reality as you imagined is par for the course. A snag should be a hurdle that you take in stride. You don’t really know how things will go when you are actually doing it.

You may stumble. But when you have made it over all the hurdle,  you have really accomplished something.

I do my own yard work. In the summer it is so hot. I  need a glass of water every 20 or 30 minutes. After a few hours, I am so tired. I feel like giving up sometimes. But I want to get so many tasks done so I push on.

At the end of the day, boy am I ready to relax. I have a nice cold drink. I think  about the accomplishments of the day. I smile. All your muscles seem worn out. But at the same time they are invigorated. It is what you call a good tired. I sit back and enjoy the rest. I earned it.

This is what happens when you accomplish any goal. Sometimes reaching a goal is challenging with hurdles. There are things you have to do that are not really hard, but you may not always be in the mood. But when you make it the feeling of accomplishment is so great. And when you meet the goal, you may be tired, a good tired. You have worked through the tough times and conquered. You can sit back and enjoy the benefits. You earned them.

So, let those end rewards keep you going.
