DAY 31...Faster Than You Think
"Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different?" - C.S. Lewis (attributed)
We've been doing this for 31 days already. 31 days went by pretty quickly. What have you done in the last 31 days? You've had victories, you've had setbacks. You've talked to people and showed appreciation for people.
Sometimes we get so overwhelmed by the future and say, "A year is such a long time." or "I can't wait that long." Yet that time comes and you've arrived. This journey is similar. You have a life to live and you need to focus on what is going on as you move forward because when you look back you'll be able to see how far you come. It may not seem like much while you're in it, but a week, a month, a year down the road, you'll see how far you've come.
