# Milestones and Turning Points By:: [[Ross Jackson]] 2024-08-13 Life is filled with milestones and turning points. These events stand as guides in one’s journey. They enable one to celebrate and reflect. They are important. Some journeys take a lifetime; some are completed relatively quickly; some are abandoned. Taking time to celebrate one’s accomplishments is important. So, too, is reflecting on one’s experiences. If the integrated totality of one’s life is a meta-journey, then within that aggregation, one’s life is a series of micro journeys, including education, career, and relationships. These, while being pursued, receive a great deal of one’s focus. As each culminates, they recede into the background, opening space for new perspectives, vistas, and foci. Humans are meaning-creating animals. Milestones and turning points provide moments around which meaning can be created. Doing so will provide clarity and motivation for action. #### Related Items [[Life]] [[Events]] [[Reflection]] [[Celebration]] [[Meaning]]
