In the hustle and bustle of every day life, sometimes the best that any of us can do is simply survive. This is exactly why taking a moment or two to gain perspective on progress can be both enlightening and rewarding.  It can be super hard to appreciate that all the hard work is actually paying off unless there is focus and attention on just how far the journey has taken us. It's a beautiful thing to remember where you've been, get clear about where you are, and hopefully recognize that there is a lot to celebrate and be grateful for.
