What is progress really

A few days ago , I caught up with a friend and we shared of our lives .

She is doing well and has a team for her craft to handle various part of the process and is expanding soon .

And I shared over on my end the roads moving forward for my craft. And we shared on our other areas of our lives. In the midst this was mentioned : “I am glad we are progressing” . It got me thinking , how progress is really like .

-Sometimes the “existential moments” are actually progress more than you think , it forces you to reorientate your perspective and direction. This is intangible but key for the next phase of growth. Just like the situation I went through last week was a good wake up call.

-Measurement of progress , when my friend and I were talking of the changes , it is the obvious changes of progress . But the “intangible” can be measured too . Like kindness, how often when in those situations , you practised it and to what degree and you measure it using spreadsheets.

- small progress is also progress. The 1% growth and more. How about 0.1% growth on some days or 0.0000001%? Through life , I start to acknowledge this saying : “soar , if you cannot ,fly , if you can’t fly , run , if cannot run , walk , if cannot walk , crawl , but no matter what , keep moving. The 0.000001% is still growth that is acknowledged so don’t beat yourself for those days , but reflect and realign to fight for the next days .

- friends I appreciate your love and help rendered these few days from last Friday when I was at a crossroads of my life . The few who listened to me and I express my grievances , the ones who rendered aid and counsel in person and through various mediums . It means a lot to me as I also figure out my progression in all areas of my life .
