I love those thoughts and that question, Rosa. So often we are rushing on to the next thing without enjoying what already is; we reach a milestone but see it as a measure of how far we still have to go.
What silly things we people are!
(Thanks for your kind gift at Christmas too! I'm still enjoying it!!)

Aloha Pete, mahalo for adding to this both here and on your blog!
Ho'ohana Community; read Pete's post, called "Satisfaction Guaranteed" here:

I am one of those people (one of those managers) who by nature cannot "leave well enough alone," instead opting to push forward so I can get from good to great. Savoring smaller successes is truly continuous learning for me, and I need to employ my own self-talk all the time in reminding myself to celebrate smaller victories and be more reasonable.
Beyond being more reasonable, this talent to see small improvements and celebrate them is a crucial one in coaching -- just as it is in managing: We have to make a fuss over those better behaviors we want to see repeated, savoring them, celebrating them, and rewarding them -- "catching people doing something right" as Ken Blanchard had written in the One Minute Manager.
