Hearing yourself recognize for your achievements; Oh, how sweet the sound. But can your quest for success leave your dreams behind you instead of in front of you?

Accolades and achievements come with a price. Some of the costs are worth sacrificing. But how far do you really want to go?

Relationships suffer due to the drive for success. The power of success is debilitating for the mind, body, and spirit as the quest for success reigns above relationships.

Why do you think there are so many divorces with top-level leadership in companies, both big and small.

Yes, those leaders are missing in action when it comes to their presence in the family roles. But you can't fault the lack of drive for personal success versus the increase of drive for professional success.

So, where does the balance come from?

If you are always tuned in with how sweet the sound of YOU stands out, then nothing will change.

At some point, you must commit to your priorities from all aspects of your life, not just the one that's easiest and more convenient. 

Success is not defined only by your career achievements. Success is defined by your entire life, and that includes your personal life too.

At some point, you have to wake up and discover what really matters in all seasons of your life; the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Then, construct a way to savor the day!

How sweet the sound of your achievements begins with the reflection in the mirror.

The K.I.S.S. ~  How sweet the reflection! "Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition." ~ Abraham Lincoln

You don't need to obtain all the medals, honors, certificates, trophies, and stickers to be successful, to have people recognize your greatness.

Is it nice and personally rewarding?

Of course. But how far does that get you? Just to the next step until you need something more. Keep going to better yourself, but don't focus on the reward at the end.

You, my friend, are on a journey.

"Your recognition comes from your reflection. The reward comes in your journey." ~ Kristanne Wargo FEEL where you want to HEAL. There are always areas that beat you up, or that you choose to beat yourself up. You need to acknowledge those areas, pain points, and sensitive circumstances so you can work through the mess in order to bless. REFLECT how you want to SERVE. Showing up for others is much easier than doing it for yourself. But generosity goes both ways. You must be willing to serve yourself too. And then be ready to extend that to others. But it starts with you! SEE who you want to BE. Reflection is is a scary thing. Look at your children. That in itself is a wake-up call. Because your children mirror you, not 100%, but they're still a reflection. So in order to become who you want to be, you must see to believe it within yourself. 

It's amazing what you can do when you know who you see in the mirror. No surprises, only sheer greatness in the making.

"One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo

CHALLENGE: Who do you see? When you look at yourself, who do you see? And not what other people say who you are. But really who you are. Don't be afraid to take some time on this. Plus, when you do look at your reflection, do it at various times (i.e., happy, mad, sad, glad).

CAUTION: Do not fall into the trap of talking to yourself from only your feelings. Own your feelings, but rely on facts.

CELEBRATE: With every little change, celebrate who you are becoming. It's exciting. It's scary. It's a party every day! 

Be proud when you (or others) whisper your name.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
