Hey Bunny! Don't Put All Those Eggs in ONE Basket!

It is so obvious that as a child you are learning new things every day. As a baby you learn all the basics like walking and talking. When you get in school you learn academic lessons and lots of social and emotional things too as you pass through each new age. When you graduate from college and get a job you kind of settle into a new sort of mentality. A sort of state where you have learned what you need to know and now on with the rest of your life. The hard thing to realize is that the learning doesn't stop there. As a matter of fact the lessons just get bigger and harder as we get older.

One of my big lessons lately seems to be to keep my options open. There is no end all be all goal for life. You have to be flexible with everything that you do. Curve balls come fast and out of left field and sometimes they hit that basket that has all your eggs in it. I am learning slowly but surely the importance of having lots of different achievable goals spread out in lots of different baskets. What I am coming to realize is that by having a stair step of goals, frustration and disappointment aren't as prevalent. Attaining each small goal brings a feeling of accomplishment and fuels me toward the next reachable success. It is so important to take the time to recognize progress and take pride in accomplishments, no matter the size or shape.
