The 365 Commitment

Day 300 – Milestone Reached – The Memory of the Future

Looking back at 300 days of keeping the 365 Commitment. Pretty overwhelming actually. When I started I attempted to visualize what the future would look like, I did so often that I almost created a memory of the future – something that had not happened yet, but was so real to me that it was as if it did.

Now 300 days later I am closed to what that vision was like. That memory of the future is becoming reality. I have a lot more things to do for that future and the present to merge but it is within my grasp now. Still amazing really what marvelous changes that can take place in life with a focused effort, but I set out to change my life in a miraculous way and I have achieve that and more.

Gratitude is the emotion for me today, as this has not been easy. One of the greatest challenges of my life and I am feeling inspired that I have made so much progress.

Tomorrow is 301 – and then I am on to 365.
