“Achievement is rarely is in line with expectation; and if it is, dream bigger.”
Each time you cross the threshold and reach a goal; a goal set forth determinedly by your younger self, you may encounter both a sense of satisfaction and a sense of gnawing expectation for more, for greater. As your abilities expand and your potential grows, you’ll continue to leap-step your mind past your achievements, dreaming of the next idea and project long before you finish the current ones.
Take a moment to celebrate your current victories, and then push the envelope another turn and see what else you are capable of. Have fun.

Beautiful post.
Thank you :)
Well said Sarah. I think sometimes we forget to celebrate because we’re so results oriented that and we want to hit the next milestone so badly.
Thanks, Srini. It is hard to remember how far we’ve come (or, in other cases, not). This is why I love annual reviews and recording and tracking. It’s nerdy, but so wonderful and helpful.
