Celebrate your small wins and big wins. Step by step, you will be where you want to be. When you achieve your goal, do not jump into a new task or goal. Do not rush, simply celebrate all your hard work. When you review your progress and see how far you come, it feels even better. Another part of your celebration can be creating a “lesson learned” where you can jot down what you have learned, and what you will do differently in the future.
I’m not a big celebrator, but I ‘m trying to learn to become one. I’m in the progress of learning to stay calm and not rush to the next item that is on my list and enjoy the results of my hard work. Our goals do not define us. We can adjust them, change them the way it feels right. The point is, we need to still enjoy our current life while creating better opportunities for us professionally and personally. We all should take the time to celebrate all the accomplishments and even failures. As long as we try our best, we ill have new paths to lead us to success.
Things may take longer than you hoped for. At that point, consider this recommendation from a book I am reading. It says, “Whenever your chatterbox is making you feel impatient, ask it, “What’s the rush? It’s all happening perfectly. Don’t worry. When I am ready to move forward I will. In the meantime, I am taking it all in and I am learning.”
