Pat on the back

All of us are constantly striving for new things, new achievements, new targets.

When we hit any of those milestones, we celebrate and move to next goal. There is nothing wrong in moving on to better things or higher goals but most of the times when we reach a target, the sense of fulfillment is so momentary that it makes you think "Is that all?" .

 The uncertainty of our future goals troubles us as well for some unknown event can take it all from us. Our focus is constantly on future and it should be but at the same time past achievements are something which nothing can take away from us, there is a sense of certainty about them. We should probably take more time to pat ourselves on our back for what we have achieved so far. It helps us feel that sense of certainty . It also helps us take bolder steps ahead as we know we already have a part of us which has been immortalised by time and nothing that future brings can destroy that.
