As the Autumn has progressed I am finding the pulse of truth become known to me.
It’s not a new concept by any means.
But it is a practice. A consistency. Meditation in the form of trust and gut.
It’s showing up to serve the work to move it forward.
Moving a project forward can feel invigorating.
It can feel like one is wonder woman and literally saving the day.
It can also feel like monotony.
The dirty work.
The scrubbing the floor just to have millions of feet walk all over it again.
And there it is. That pulse. It is steady and true.
Although one may feel that there is nothing to show for what one did to ‘move it forward’ today. There is an accumulation of days that can bring ‘it’ to the light.
It is something that only tenacity, grace and a bit of a stubborn nature can produce.
May we not discredit our work, no matter how big or how small.
How much the paycheck is or isn’t.
How many likes we receive or don’t.
How loud the applause or how quiet.
May we be more focused on serving the work before us and moving it forward to its next right place, even just a smidge more.
Eventually, we’ll look behind us and realize we climbed a mountain and despite the results and how many people saw,
we did it.
