Wayne’s Word – accomplished

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: #WaynesWord

Today’s word is ACCOMPLISHED.

The word comes from the verb accomplish, which means to carry out or achieve something successfully.

There’s something quietly powerful about the word accomplished. It is not flashy. It does not shout. It just stands there, finished, earned, done.

To feel accomplished doesn’t always mean climbing Everest or hitting a massive milestone. Sometimes, it’s ticking a goal off your list. Sometimes, it’s just getting through the day and still showing up for yourself.

In fitness, we chase progress but accomplishment isn’t always about size or speed. It’s about effort and consistency, as well as the little wins that build up over time. I was writing about competing in HYROX last week and yesterday came the official photos. It was so good to see some photos of the event and look back at what I have accomplished. I didn’t enter the competition to try and win, I just wanted to experience it, see if I could actually do it and to my absolute delight, I completed it and it wasn’t too bad at all. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable experience that I would love to do again one day.
