The Best Part of a Project

These are the steps I keep encountering in any given project.
Sometimes levels repeat themselves, sometimes they are not there at all…

The Wow Moment.
Cool, I got the project.
I see success on the far end.
Did I mention I got the project?

 

The initial rush powers my days.
Will it be good? Will it work?
No anxiety, just adrenalin concentration.

 

Hit The Brick Wall.
Strike one. You think you knew it all?

 

The well.
Unexpected water landing.
You see no future.
I shouldn’t have gotten involved.

 

The stairs.
Some steps are missing but a way up is evident.

 

The Summit.
I finally made it; wrong:
If you climb a mountain you still have to come back down.

 

Reality is actually quite good.
Not the best, but definitely worth the effort.
Oh! Finally finished.

 

The Goal.
I couldn’t quite reach the heights I envisioned, but I got pretty close.

 

The best part is usually just after the brick wall.
A place where you can almost see the goal, and every discovery takes me higher.
