I surprised myself this week when I realised I was doing OK. It was a radically novel thought, one that blew my mind and made me feel enormously happy.

Like most people reading this I’m driven, hardworking and ambitious. And the downside is that I rarely take the time to look in the rear view mirror. I’m usually focussed on what’s right in front of me, where I am headed and the speedometer.

So today is an invitation for all of us to consider how far we’ve come. Enjoy the view.
