Appreciating Anticipation: Celebrating the Journey to Achievement

The simmer of excitement is as delicious, and in some instances even more so, than the full rolling boil of the event or experience manifesting itself and coming into your physical reality. The excitement of the build keeps you on the metaphorical edge of your seat; the anticipation and the unknown of how it will actually play out form the crescendo of the music we've referred to. Enjoy that as much, or more, than the pinnacle.

The peak is the moment felt just as the realization of the manifestation is known, and it is as brief as the final sun dipping below your horizon. The colors of the sky before and after that point represent the build, again leading toward the finality of that sunset or day's end for you. The deliciousness of the build and the afterglow of achievement are what lingers. You're off to the next build. Enjoy the simmer, the excitement—there is so much to feel giddy about.

Feel and appreciate the journey to the rolling boil, the moment of readiness. Often, the peak of your experience is not noticed until the afterglow sets in. The enjoyment of the award, accolade, achievement, or culmination of what you thought you were seeking can feel anticlimactic, and it is the basking in or thought of that fills you with the glow you are always seeking.

Create the glow for yourself about anything and everything. Enjoy the mundane, the trivial; they are all the tiniest bubbles of the simmer. Enjoy as much as you can fit into your construct of time. Fill your day with smiles, which are just the energetic expression of the inner joy that is felt. Enjoy your life; you are creating.
