Accomplishments

Something came to me when I was pondering on what I should write in my blog today. I was thinking about what most people would think an accomplishment would be. I thought of lofty goals like a Nobel prize or getting your PHD, things like that. After some thought, I came to the conclusion that there not big or small accomplishments. Getting an Oscar is no bigger than a disabled child learning to tie his shoe.

This weekend I accomplished something. At first I didn't really look at it that way. When I finished the outline for my new story I felt great but I really didn't think of it as an accomplishment. I thought that when it is published, then said to my self no when it is a best seller...it got really ugly from there. However today I got a better perspective on it.

I think that when you reach some large goal that it is not just one big accomplishment but a series of accomplishments that got you there.
