I’ve started to do this thing where I go somewhere or buy myself something specific that I’ve been wanting as a way of celebrating and anchoring in my goals when I achieve them.
Goals are fleeting. After you hit one, there’s another on the horizon.
But memories, those last forever.
And whenever I see or carry or use the “anchor” item, it reminds me of my journey and how far I’ve come. It reminds me of what I’ve created.
It’s a memory of something that I would have otherwise long forgotten because I live so much in the present moment.
