Celebrate the small wins

Let them keep pushing you forward

We often forgo celebrating the small wins in the hope that when the big wins happen, they’ll make up for it. The problem with this is that, we never know when the big wins will come, or even if they will in the first place. This leaves us hopeful for an undeterminable amount of time, and without celebrating the small wins, it can be enough for us to lose faith completely.

Celebrate the small wins! Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done every once in a while. Although you may not have gotten the result you desired, that you strived for better, and put your best foot forward is reason enough.
