733Higher expectations
When you discover that you've exceeded your own best expectations, don't be frightened. Be curious, and get a little more ambitious.
After all, you've done something you never expected you could do. Think of what else you could now do that you would have never before considered.
Though it's great to succeed beyond your expectations, it can also be very uncomfortable. And that discomfort can pull you back down, getting you to underperform in order to compensate for your recent spectacular performance.
Instead of giving in to that need for comfort, get excited about what you've just accomplished. Instead of bowing to your previous expectations, choose to raise your expectations even higher.
No, you didn't just get lucky. You took the actions necessary to accomplish even more than you had expected.
Now you have the outstanding opportunity to build on that accomplishment. Step boldly forward, don't look back, and continue amazing yourself with all that you can do.

Silent reflection
For just a while, calm your thoughts. In this moment, simply be.
There is much in your life, and there is much more to come.
Yet you have always been, and you always are, more than enough.
For a moment, let go of the way you appear and the things you've done. Feel the truth and power of who you are.
In silence, there is much you can know. Beyond thought, there is much you can understand.
Touch the person who always lives inside the person you are. Be immersed in the beauty and wonder of being.
Feel the strength that is always there. And know that whatever may come, all is well.

Enjoy the achieving
Consistent achievers enjoy more than just the achievement. They also enjoy the process of achieving. Those who attain the biggest rewards do not merely seek those rewards. They also crave the challenges that they must go through in order to reach those rewards.Winners understand that the goal, as valuable as it may be, is only a small part of the overall achievement. They know that the real substance of the achievement is in the achieving. In fact, you cannot truly benefit from the reward unless you have worked through the challenging process to attain it. To truly enjoy the achievement, you must also enjoy the achieving of it. Sure, that process of achieving will have its unpleasant and disagreeable aspects. Yet think of how great it will feel when you purposefully transcend them all. Let go of your judgment about what's pleasant, what's comfortable, and what's not. Sincerely enjoy the journey of achievement, and you'll surely reach the goal.
