Finally hitting self realized progress

So I've been getting told for months by others around me as I get passed up on every interview I come across "Look how far you've come" etc...

While I look backwards I definitely see the trail left behind me of my past foot steps, and from the start of my journey some of them are even starting to fade away the further I go.

Regardless of walking or sprinting the footsteps behind me grow. Even though people have given plenty of moral support on my so-called accomplishment, and yes I do see progress, I look forward ahead up the trail...and my journey just does not seem to have an end in sight.

We all travel through life not knowing where the end will be, or how for that matter, but it's different when you have a goal in mind, an end result you want to see and accomplish but you cannot see the path clear enough up that far.

Well, last night I brought up some JavaScript code I was working on that I had written, but it had not been working. Part of the reason I love programming is the aspect of problem solving, so I was kind of excited for this.

Maybe I should have bought this(Coding with JavaScript For Dummies) sooner and re-read it in my moments of frustration when I would step away from these problems knowing full and well that they might just be something easy I am over-looking.

I actually remembered the process on how to debug and find out why and where the code wasn't working. After I started dropping in console.logs and using firebug to see where it was failing I figured it out. Sweet mother of pearl....I figured it out.

I felt so accomplished in that one moment, more accomplished feeling than I have felt for some time. It felt like rather than a curvy trail ahead towards the goal it gave me a short and straight burst.

Hopefully, this means it's time to start sprinting.
