I was working with a client recently and considering options for next steps. Whilst reflecting on past experience and future opportunities they commented,

"Sometimes I think what if this is a golden period in my career?"

It prompted a really interesting conversation and their words stuck with me. I reflected back on my career and realised that at several points there were very positive periods with different highlights like:

• Learning a huge amount

• Working with great people

• Having fun

• Being recognised and rewarded for achievements

• Discovering new skills
  

But quite often I wasn’t really appreciating that, I was very focused on the next thing or some elements that weren’t so good.

It’s good to have an eye on the future but not if it means we’re not appreciating the present and making the most of a time that we may well look back on as a golden period.
