This week, I am talking about celebrating your victories, big and small.
The victory is a sign of making progress.
Then again, a failure is a sign of making progress.
Do not let the naysayers or fools try to pull the wool over your eyes.
A Failure or a Loss is still a WIN.
It is a win so long as you learn from that failure.
You learn not to make the mistake again or if you do make a mistake it is going to be a better mistake.
Better mistakes are also signs of making progress. So be sure to include them when celebrating.
Everyone loves a victory. Everyone loves to celebrate.
Now as for calibrating the level of celebrating victories, well that is strictly up to you.
Most will give their two cents and ask why are you celebrating the small victories?
Why not?
Seriously, celebrating life is the standard and most certainly NOT the exception.
The same goes for victories, all victories!
Ignore those individuals that are not at your level.
By not at your level, I mean they would rather dwell on failures instead of learning from them.
Trust me, there are so many individuals out there that only know how to dwell on failure that you should have no problem spotting them.
Ignore those that question why you celebrate. If they do not celebrate the way you do then screw them.
Their lack of ability to enjoy and celebrate is NOT your concern.
You and everyone else are on your own unique journey.
Everyone has obstacles to overcome. Everyone must do what they must do.
That is why you must continue doing your thing and seize the opportunities to celebrate.
As for the naysayers or the negative nellies, well, do not for one minute let the fog in their minds darken your eyes.
You have more important things to do than to worry about what others believe you should be celebrating or not celebrating. The thing to remember is to let them be unique no matter if they do not give you the same respect and opportunity to be unique.
Now back to celebrating the victories.
Celebrating the victories does two things:
One, it shows that you are not affected by the setbacks but instead you are actively looking and pursuing the next opportunity to celebrate.
Two. Celebrating the victories shows that you have your priorities set. Set to a standard that encourages rejoicing victories of all kinds and reassures continued growth and the continued need for more future celebrations.
However, a word of warning, be careful when celebrating in that you are not celebrating more than you are achieving. There is always work to be done.
So, get out there and celebrate and continue with your victories.
YOUR FUTURE AWAITS!
