2 Thoughts - Loops & Lines

#1: Goal Spirals

I came across something online recently called "October Theory" - the idea that Oct. 1st feels like a mini New Year's.  There’s this sense that the year’s wrapping up, but with three months left there’s still time to make a final strong push toward your goals. 

I have to admit, I relate to that.  Around this time, I usually pull out my handy Goal Setting sheet and try to remember what I even wanted to accomplish back in January. 

Lately, I’ve been thinking about progress as more of a spiral. Life rarely moves in a straight line to your goals. It’s more like a gradual climb, looping around the mountain, gaining a little more height with each pass.

October is when I pause to look back at those loops - seeing the progress, even if it wasn't always direct. It’s a helpful reminder that even when the path feels circuitous and I'm not beelining for my goals, I'm still making solid progress.
