What is the Essence of Progress?

What is the essence of progress?

What is the measure that allows people to willfully suggest “Wow! That’s Progress”! How do we calculestimmate progress within ourselves?

Does leniency toward ourselves help or hinder our progress? How can I best enable progress?

Firstly, consider success, not as total and complete success. no; but yes to little successes. Daily successes. Hourly successes. Now successes.

Progress is often seen as steps along a journey which, let’s face it; not so inspiring! Plodding! When we measure progress as little successes, enthusiasm and spontaneous actions could be expected spinoffs, further supporting our already  enthusiastic efforts.

Determination on its own can move mountains, but…enthusiasm with determination can joyfully move mountains. A large part of our life experience is the art of enjoyment and if our enjoyment factor goes up by realizing small successes along the way, then make those mental adjustments, cause that’s all they are . . . little mental things … (’if I can think it, it’s sorta so . . .’)

Therefore, our perception of our reality is just as valid as reality itself; in our own mind anyway.
