While on this THPL journey, we can find ourselves to be our greatest critics. Not doing enough, not executing perfectly, not reaching our goals quickly and so much more. The question, hard to resolve, for the high performer, is how to be satisfied with our progress. Yes, we know we can always do more but when is it ever enough, do we appreciate the progress we are making or do we stretch for more. Can we ever celebrate on the way to success or will we feel that we are never there? Maybe, just maybe, we need to change our thinking – could it be that it is really not about our individual performance…..maybe, in fact, it is about what we do for others, directly or indirectly. Maybe our way of living influenced someone else, maybe we coached someone, maybe we challenged yet another person – in any, and all of these circumstances, our measure of progress/contribution is that which someone else took away from their encounter with us. It might really be that how we think about measurement changes as we become more and more effective with what we do for others – not just ourselves. It is a good and healthy way to think and measure ourselves. It only takes one to have it all be worth it. Indeed….
