Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Thursday, February 19th. It's that point
in the week where you might be looking at everything
you didn't finish. The emails that multiplied
overnight. The project that's taking longer than
you thought. The conversation you meant to have
but kept putting off. And here's what happens.
You start thinking the whole week was wasted.
Like nothing counts unless it's completely done.
But that's not how progress actually works. Here's
today's advice. Give yourself credit for the
things that moved forward, even if they didn't
cross the finish line. You don't need a trophy
ceremony. Just notice what shifted. The draft
you started. The call you finally made. The thing
you learned that changes how you'll approach
tomorrow. Progress isn't always a checkmark.
Sometimes it's understanding the problem better.
Sometimes it's building a habit that'll pay off
next month. Sometimes it's just showing up when
you really didn't want to. Think about it like
this. If you're learning to cook, burning the
pasta still teaches you about timing. That's
not failure. That's information. The week isn't
over yet. And even if it was, incomplete doesn't
mean worthless. You moved something forward.
That counts. And your goodwill move for today.
Text someone who helped you this week, even in
a small way. Just say thanks. You don't need
to write a novel. Just, hey, thanks for that
thing you did. It helped. Maybe it was a co -worker
who covered a meeting. Maybe it was a friend
who listened. Maybe it was someone who just didn't
add to your stress. People rarely hear when they
made things easier. Let them know. That's your
Daily Goodwill for Thursday, February 19th. Hidden
wins are still wins. Talk soon.
