Raising the Bar

As we look at our growth, it’s easy to get frustrated. What have I even done?

In a short time frame, it’s hard to make out progress. Things feel stagnant — and it can feel weird knowing you aren’t making steps.

I’ve come to realize that’s a narrow view. And I’ve been reflecting on the idea of horizons.

The more we zoom out, the more we can see big, lasting changes. Widening the aperture means you can see true patterns. A month or even year can’t tell you much…. but a decade? That can be illuminating./

Maybe you don’t realize how far you’ve come, because you keep raising the bar.
