Measureable Success

We talk about success at work, and how it can be measured. It's not enough to say you're good at something or you've improved at something if you can't measure it.

I was able to measure my journey to overcome this phobia today.

Every time I walk past the traps at work I look in. This morning I was the first person to be in the back area at work, and I noticed one of the traps had moved somewhat. I peered in and discovered a little mouse. I didn't freak out. My heart didn't explode out of my chest. I wasn't dizzy. I was OK. In fact, I felt bad.

I waited until Derek arrived at work and I asked him to confirm what I was sure I saw. He took a look and, sure enough, a mouse had been trapped. He then checked another trap and found a second mouse. And guess what? I'm OK. I feel really bad for these two little souls. How freaking weird is that??

I am OK.
I will continue to be OK.
