There is the moment when you wake up and the day brings you the realization that you have reached the place where you wanted to be. It feels like an “overnight success”; all of a sudden, there you are with the results that you wanted and all is well.
But it is all of the vitamins you took, each day, one by one, that built the new cells.
It was standing firm on your convictions, each day, that brought you the present certainty.
It was the risks that you bravely engaged that has you standing on courage.
And it is the knowing that the on the other side of struggle is victory, the other side of heartache is happiness and the grieving of disappointments paves the way for new ambition.
Energy anew, it all comes together. It is a process, a moderation of life experiences, a mentoring of the self, the help of those who believe in you, that brings you, once around, again, to a new beginning.
It feels like overnight, it feels swift, when the energy shifts. Be sure to credit yourself for the process you were brave enough to begin with the recognition of patterned behaviors that were of no value to you that you were brave enough to end.

Well said El! It is all those moments from before, all those choices, that bring us to “it.”
Hi Terri, yes you are so right. So often I hear people say “Why didn’t I do this before?” I so believe that of we could be doing something else, we would and that those stepping stones that we design every day, to quote you, “brings us to it!” Thanks for the comment!
Loved reading this post first thing on a Monday morning! So true.
Hi Dale, thank you. I just feel that it is inspiring to remember how courageous we are!
Dear Ellen,
Everyday I put on my shoes, my coat, and my courage before I go out and engage with the world. Beautiful words…thank you!
