Look at the Wake: Recognizing Personal Progress.
Good morning, friends.
The Moment
When I look out of my cabin porthole at the sky, it can seem as though the ship is standing still. The sky gives me little sense of our movement.
Then I look down at the water. I see it moving along the hull and the wake forming behind us. We have been travelling all along.
One Useful Thought
Progress can be difficult to see when we look only at the distance ahead. Sometimes the clearest evidence is behind us: a choice we handled differently, a habit we interrupted, or a promise we kept.
Those changes may be small, but they tell us we are moving.
One Question Worth Carrying.
What can I do differently now that I could not do a few months ago?
The One-Degree Turn
Write down one specific change you have made. Keep it somewhere you can see it when the journey feels slow.
Fair winds,
