When you are working towards a goal, whether it be a degree, a clean house, a fitness challenge, etc it can get hard. There are times you will want to give up, but you push through them. You fight, you sacrifice, you achieve. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, so to speak. But then what?

We must not treat our goals like one and done things. Progression is necessary… When you achieve a goal, be happy, be proud, be afraid of what is next, but don’t become stagnant. Keep making goals, keep overcoming them, and keep moving.

Never be satisfied and never get complacent. You owe it to yourself and those around you to be the change, to make a difference, and to inspire… Even if it’s only one other person, even if it is only yourself.

So next time you achieve a goal, work towards already having something else in motion. Don’t think that because you overcame or achieved something great that it is all you can do. Try your best and if you fail, learn a lesson and keep moving forward. Don’t stop, and don’t settle.
