Sometimes You Have to Take the Stairs

Thought of the week:

So today I was looking at motivational quotes and came across this one. It fits so many situations. I think about my athletic son who this fits more literally, as in you have to run the stairs to get into shape to compete at a high level. I think of the workplace where it fits more figuratively, as in the steps or jobs you have to hold on your way to the top. But for me, it fits where I am at in my new adventure. I have done the presentations and set the stage...that was pretty easy for me and fell into my comfort zone. Now comes the work with teachers. So for me, I am on my way to success but I am taking the stairs. I am learning as I go and wondering if I am on the stairs going up or going down or somehow doing a little dance in between?

  1. Thanks for sharing, Sammie! I love how you reflect on everything you do. For me, life is like a staircase. Sometimes I'm flying up them skipping steps because I'm in a hurry or am on a mission. Sometimes I trip going up because I'm not fully engaged (shocker). Sometimes I drop something and have to go back and pick it up. Sometimes I'm talking with someone all the way up the stairs and sometimes I'm taking one step at a time lost in deep thought. But....I'm always moving to "climb the stairs." Thanks for sharing your thoughts and journey, Sammie!
