Nothing good just happens


We are approaching the end of the first half of the year, and in my household, the end of the first half of summer, considering that our kids start back to school so early.

It makes me think about some of the goals I set for the year and summer. Some of them are going quite well some of them not so much. In the going well category, I can look back at my calendar, journal and back in my mind and see where I have dedicated significant amounts of my own time and the time and support of others to help make the things that happened.

I can also see where goals, personal and professional, have fallen short. I can’t find the same bread crumbs of activity across my calendar and on reflection as I can for the things that happened. 

I am sure it’s a shocking revelation, but nothing good or great just happens. Good, meaningful accomplishments (and relationships) take work and dedication and interest and focus. They also require help and support from team members, coworkers, family and friends. And when you look back across your calendar and memories, you can see the tracks. It’s cliché, but success leaves a trail.
