life is a series of small achievements, be it... getting an A on a test, solving that annoying computer issue, finishing a piece of work, getting to work on time, waking up on time, losing that little bit of weight, running that little bit faster, posting that little bit more.

Everyday is series of small successes and failures, with the occasional large event interspersed.

Today, I made it to work dispite being ill.
Yesterday I managed to paint my bedroom ceiling.
These are what it means to be me. But in reflection these are not the things I remember.... my memory is trained to forget this minor matters and focus in detail on the great achievements marriage, mortgage, job...

It's important to remember that the little moments in ones life define our existence, and how the world sees us. Shakespeare said that "all the world is a stage", but we should not live our lives as a play, compartmentalizing our past by reference to a few major events and think that this is our life. It is our daily goals that form the backdrop that will ultimately determine is the play is worth watching.

So here is your manuscript, what small goals do you want to remember today.
