My neighbor came over yesterday and as he often does, asked if I was having a good day. I told him it was an ok day (my usual response lately) but I hadn’t really accomplished much. Well, that got me to thinking about accomplishments. I’ve always kind of measured my days by whether or not I felt like I had accomplished something. But I’m beginning to realize that those things that I thought I needed to accomplish were physical things, or kind of “external” things to my life.
So — at this point, maybe those types of accomplishments shouldn’t be my goal. Maybe my goal now should be trying to find happiness and maybe some inner peace. If my goal now is not so much to “get things done,” maybe I should redefine my “accomplishments” as those that support and measure my progress in returning to “normal.”
It might be a good idea for all of us to try putting more emphasis on what’s really important rather than concentrating on those “external” accomplishments and should redefine what it means to achieve a meaningful accomplishment….
