Goals Mountain (sketch)
Added 2021-03-11 16:29:22 +0000 UTCTrying to learn to challenge how I’ve always viewed success/failure, but it’s a hard and slow process. (Here’s a visual of how I looked at it doe the longest time.)

Every time I see a graph of ups and downs I now think about this video I saw last year. https://youtu.be/x3EVh2jhyLM It's got a great scene with Kurt Vonnegut drawing a plot going up and down, chronicling the journey a character has. His point was that it's only looking backward that you can (maybe) spot a high/low. What felt like a low spot at the time may turn out to be a huge factor in something very positive happening. It caused me to shift my thinking to be more in the moment. I've not been at this for long, but I like living in the now, not the past, not the future. I still work hard at goals, but they don't feel so up and down anymore. They just.... are.... "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." Soren Kierkegaard... .what a great quote. This comic reminds me also of another one you did about what progress looks like: https://www.adhddd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/SelfImprovement-1.jpeg I've shown it to every student I work with. It's not just self-improvement... you've drawn progress in general. It's a fantastic graphic.
