Looking Back
Part of pacing growth is reflecting on your progress. Turn around and look back at where you were a year ago. I bet you have made all kinds of progress in the last year, and you might not be giving yourself enough credit for it.
What have you learned in the last year? What you have started? What have you increased? What have you risked that failed (this is a good thing)? What has changed in your personal character and worldview? Fill in the blank with your own changes.
A lot of change is hard fought inches, forward, then back, then forward a little more. Turn around and realize how much that added up to in the last year. Since you did all that this year, imagine what you can do next year. Big things are possible. Please go do them.
