Take Time to Look Back

I once heard a story about Tibetan monks. They often travel great distances on foot. Every once in a while, they stop and look back. Seeing the long distance they have already traveled gives them the courage and energy to continue on the path in front of them. It must be the winding down of the year, because it feels like we can all take a lesson from those monks. It is good to pause and look back. As I take time to reflect on 2010, I think – “Wow, what a great year.” I started a new job, where I completed a few acquisitions and had the opportunity to travel across Canada. My book was published and we celebrated with book launch parties in four cities. (I love parties!) It was also a great year of learning and growing, trying new things, meeting new people and enjoying all the "ah-ha" moments. I feel energized and ready for 2011.

Take a moment to pause along your path and look back. Think about what you accomplished and give yourself a pat on the back. Be appreciative of the people you have met along the way. Think of all you have learned and be grateful for the ability to continually grow. As 2010 comes to an end, reaffirm what you are thankful for.

And in the spirit of thankfulness, check out this adorable video:
