When something finally works

Hard work · Little Light original

When something you have worked on finally succeeds, take a moment before you move the goal further away. Remember the version of you who was unsure anyone would want it. The attempts that did not quite work. The person who encouraged you when there was very little evidence to point to. This result deserves to be felt. You do not have to make it larger immediately for it to count. There will be time to understand what helped, what needs improving, and what you want to try next. For now, you are allowed to stand inside something you once hoped would happen. Success may bring new responsibilities and questions you could not have predicted. You can meet those as they arrive. Today also contains a simpler truth: you cared about an idea, gave it a real attempt, and something came of it. Let yourself enjoy knowing that.
