Anticipating success

 Often focused on the potential pitfalls of tough goals, today I thought I'd change my mindset and focus on the potential success. 

Some years ago, I worked hard to achieve a tough goal, and when I got close to achieving the goal, I wasn't able to deal with the success. I had worked hard to visualize the struggles and how to move past those, but I didn't anticipate what success would feel like and how I would react. 

So when I was successful, I couldn't deal with the resulting attitudes and actions which resulted in undoing the tough work I had done over several months. 

So this time as I work to meet a tough, complex goal, I am going to spend some time anticipating the success and how I'll handle that. Onward.
