 Hi, I'm George Cao. So if you watch my videos, my guess is that you are somebody who values personal development, becoming your best self possible, manifesting the highest vision of your soul in this life, or maybe building your ideal business. And that is wonderful. Now, one thing that there is a challenge that faces a lot of us is that we forget to acknowledge the very important thing of acknowledging and celebrating who we've already become. And as a result of not acknowledging ourselves frequently enough, what happens is that we get into this continued consistent state of anxiety. Because when you only focus on your goals and your dreams and your ideals, what your brain keeps telling you is that you're not there yet. Does that make sense? When you think about, when you only look at the distance, when you only look at the point in the distance that you want to get to, you can only see how far you have yet to go. What you haven't seen is the distance that you've already come. And so think of, I'll give you this analogy of walking. Next time you walk, okay? Notice, of course, it's one foot and then the other foot. One foot, the other foot. That's how you make progress in a journey. And the same thing is the journey of life. You make progress by one foot and then the other foot. One foot and then the other foot. Well, guess what? Let me just give you this analogy that one foot is knowing where you're trying to go. Having a goal, having a hero that you want to become like, having an ideal or a dream or a set of values that you want to embody, set of virtues that you want to manifest in your life. So that's one foot, okay? Looking into the distance and seeing your goal. The other foot is acknowledging the direction, the distance you've already come. Acknowledging that and being happy that you are inevitably making progress. And this is an important point. You are inevitably making progress. You can't not grow and become wiser and more virtuous in life. I know that given that you're in my audience, you're probably somebody who you might be maybe a little too harsh on yourself because you care about personal growth. And I think people who care about personal growth tend to focus a little bit too much on the distance and not enough on looking at where we've already come. And so that's my encouragement to you today. Remember, just like when you're walking, you put one foot and then the other foot. One foot and the other foot. You can't just walk. You'll be exhausted if you only hop on one foot, trying to go forward. Does that make sense? So don't exhaust yourself by only seeing the goal and the dream or not at the same time balancing with acknowledging the hardships that you've already overcome, the projects you've already accomplished, the tasks that you've already achieved, the people you've already helped, the person you've already become today. Yes, there's always a distance that you can go further, but acknowledge and celebrate and be happy with whom you've already become and be happy that you have a goal, that you have a point that you want to get to, that maybe you have a hero that you want to emulate, maybe you have a set of values or virtues that you want to embody. Be happy you have those two. So therefore, as you keep walking forward in life, you can be continually joyful, having this two-step process that you're making every day. Remember, success is like this. It's not a single straight up. You will experience sometimes feeling like you're taking a couple steps back, but you are always going to also take some steps forward. That's inevitable because you care about personal growth, so I trust that that will always happen for you and you need to trust that for yourself as well. I hope this is helpful and until the next video, keep taking those steps forward.
