It is good to look back occasionally and recognize all the things that you accomplish and all the good that you do.
Christmas time is a perfect time to step back for a bit, and look behind you to see how far you’ve come this year - to see the view from the mountain you’ve been climbing.
To see how much elevation you have actually gained, and to see the beauty in the things below. The rocks, the valleys, the ridges, the boulders, the flowers, the trails, the fog, the streams, the clouds - all the world below - that seemed so hard and exhausting in the journey, and sometimes seemed to be going nowhere.
But to see that you actually made progress, and gained a higher view, is what is important and what makes it worth it to keep going.
And to really recognize it, see the beauty in it all, and offer love and respect and admiration to yourself.
You do more than you realize. The climb isn’t always easy, but it is always worth it, and it is beautiful to turn around and just look and gaze and wonder and feel accomplishment in it all.
The good and the bad, the joy and the struggle, all have great purpose in the worth and glory of the destination.
So take a breath and just feel respect and gratitude for yourself, and for all that you have, and all you have experienced, and all you have done.
And never forget the One who gave you all, and continues to give. And who loves you enough to let you grow and become, who loves you enough to give you the mountain, and helps you climb it along the way.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
And as always, continue lighting the world around you!
