Success

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and talents.  ~ Mahatma Gandhi

The 'behind the scenes' of "improvement"...ASK!

 Good mawning!

Is sharing the journey more considered improvement?
I've seen a lot of ' behind the scenes' stuff over my lifetime. Stuff that often doesn't make it to the "stage" of displaying it to the world.
Much of what is not seen by others is the daily, consistent, and inspired work done by an artist, a writer, a craftsman, a landscaper, a grandmother, a single or co-parenting mom to improve their relationships, allow for personal self-expression, make healthier choices, allow the art to flow through, allow themselves to show up in THEIR life.
I don't assume that because of what I get to see or even possibly EXPECT to see is the whole picture or journey of one's life.
I prefer to ask what they are personally working on improving, and then follow them in their process.
Now granted, some metrics are much easier to track the process... weight and fat loss, body aesthetics, consistency, miles on foot, places and spaces travelled, dollars earned and invested, knowledge on a particular subject...
But if you want to be tracking improvements that are not your own, ask the person personally what it is they are working on growing in and if they will share the process and journey with you.
