Most of the time we get to a point in our lives, look back, and say “Wow! Look how far I’ve come!”<\/p>\n
That’s not the scary kind of progress.<\/p>\n
That’s progress that has happened to us, and while we are likely\u00a0the reason\u00a0we’ve progressed, it’s not always on purpose.<\/p>\n
Have you ever experienced a challenge in your life where you get to the other side of the difficulty and realize you’re a better person for it? What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right?<\/p>\n
That’s not scary progress.<\/p>\n
Scary progress is\u00a0intentional<\/em>. On purpose.<\/p>\n Have you ever set out to do something on purpose? Set a goal? Decided to make a change in your business? You’re consciously choosing to do something different in order to improve. This is intentional progress, and it happens in many forms.<\/p>\n I started TextMyJournal over a year ago. October 2014 was the pilot study, and that came after months and months of research. After the pilot study I made some changes (intentional progress) and launched in February.<\/p>\n My progress at that point became passive. I was terrified. TextMyJournal wasn’t quite what I had envisioned, and so I stopped pressing for progress.<\/p>\n Within the last week, I’ve made some changes. I’ve set out to make\u00a0intentional progress\u00a0<\/em>and it’s scary. It’s vulnerable. It’s uncomfortable.<\/p>\n It’s also incredibly exciting.<\/p>\n November is awesome. Everyone gets all grateful and the world seems a little brighter. I’ve decided to express gratitude every day, too, but in a less… social<\/em> sort of way.<\/p>\n I’ve seen a change in my life already – and it’s only been 5 days. Five days.<\/i> I look forward to experiencing the change after a month! This is intentional progress. I’m intending<\/em> to express gratitude.<\/p>\n It’s been remarkable to remember to be grateful.<\/p>\nIntentional progress.<\/h1>\n
