Put Gold in What You’re Doing Now

Yellow_Lily_by_Liz_Strauss

We’ve all had one — a moment of gold, a moment when the sun shines on us, and we’re something made of success. How we got there was part head, part heart, and a whole lot of determination that knocked down walls as we went.

In a moment of gold, some folks don’t understand what makes that moment so worth celebrating. Ah, to them, what we’ve some seems a small thing, but we know that the distance from point A to point B was not a straight or simple line. Math might always be. Life hardly ever is.

With all of the choices that move us forward, with all of the wishes and plans that our hearts hold, we need to be sure that we savor our accomplishments and celebrate our successes. Those golden moments are what propel us forward to make more spectacular things happen.

Stop a minute. Recall the sunlight. Find a moment of gold from your past.

What can you take from that moment to fuel what you’re doing now?

    Find a moment of gold from your past.

    Hi Liz

    How about a present moment? Putting the final touches to my first ever online ‘knowledge’ product - some hard crafting went into that, and still does, but the ‘gold’ is shining through already.
    Never thought I would do it, but I did. Or better, am about to. My partner always shakes his head when I talk about my project: he can’t even see the tiniest glimmer of gold in it - but then he is ‘wary’ of anything computer/internet related ;-)

    I’ll better keep polishing for now.

    There’s so much power in these moments, I find them impossible to ignore. I like your words here, for they remind us where much of our power comes from.

    Gold moments tend to come and go quickly for a perfectionist like me who grew up with the “don’t ever rest on you laurels” thinking. I’m working on taking a lounge chair with me next time though to bask a little longer in the moment.

    Hi Everyone!
    What wonderful moments you point to. Sorry I wasn’t around to enjoy them when you wrote them. That lounge chair sure sounds nice. :)
