Encouragement

Today I talked with my fellow Chroniclers and left the conversation feeling pretty good. I went into the conversation a little nervous because in my mind I hadn't made much progress. I imagined updating them with a whole lot of nothing. After I made my update, however, all I got was a whole lot of encouragement. The ladies told me that maybe I should not put so much energy into focusing on what I'm not doing and instead put that energy into making the most out of what I'm doing.

For example, me I'd like to write more and had been down on myself for my lack of progress. Well now I'm going to take all of my negative feelings and put them into making the most out of the time I do spend writing. In short, I'm going to write when I have the time and feel good about the time I spend writing. I won't spend time feeling bad about the time I'm not spending writing.

I'd like to pass these ideas along to others reading this blog. For those of you pursuing a goal and are feeling a little discouraged -- instead of feeling bad about what you're not doing -- think about what you are doing and focus on doing that well.
