I was thinking to write this post about the topic of milestones what I remembered yesterday evening. I am not sure I can write it as I wished to write it yesterday because I am quite tired now. Anyways at the weekend I saw someone win an award what reminded me of the topic of awards, milestones and everyday..
Since I used to take part and win competitions too I know the feeling of excitement before they call your name, the feeling of winning and the joy of being awarded. Although it was long time ago and most of my adult life was spent without winning awards. If I am thinking about big milestones the last big milestone for me was the year when I decided to take my Finnish language exam and passed it. It was important for me because it brought with it something what I was emotionally invested in and worked for and chose to be.
It was already some years ago. Sometimes days, week, years pass without big milestones. But when a milestone comes and is reached it feels like an award. To see others winning real awards is a good reminder. Even though we are not in that competition we are in the race of our own life.
May be the first and most important question of all is if we want to be in our own competition at all. To set goals for ourselves, reach milestones, struggle but also taste the joy of victory. Or just float and let time pass by.
