Up. Up. Stop.

A Big Little Life Lesson about success

When you’re climbing the ladder, 

your vision is pointed in one direction. 

Up. Up. Up. 

Take one step. Then another. And another. 

As the climb continues, we’re told to 

keep our eyes on the prize. 

Bigger. Better. Higher. 

But this aim for more keeps us from seeing the success already around us. 

Up. Up. 

Stop. 

On the way to success, 

you don’t always have to look up. 

It’s okay to look around. 

To appreciate what you have. 

How far you’ve come. 

It’s ok to just be. 

It’s ok to take a look around to see.

Up. Up. Stop. is part of the  Big Little Life Lessons series. With a different approach to bedtime stories, Big Little Life Lessons brings you the thoughts, theories, and teaching for children growing up and adults growing out. Our human virtues tend to take a backseat in a world that speeds up and speeds past us as we try to make sense of the constant noises of everyday life. These big little life lessons aim to bring perspective to everyday experiences and helps you connect with your kids while connecting
back to yourself after a long day of distraction and routine.

Dealing with a world that is ever changing requires reminders of how life can be simple if we let it. 

It’s lessons we keep learning. Lessons we keep living.
