Are you patting yourself on the back enough? Chances are if
you’re moving too hastily towards your intended goals you’re
not taking ample time to enjoy your accomplishments. And
doing so has so many benefits that it’s something we should
definitely develop the habit of doing more of. But make no
mistake, the decision to do so begins with you.
First off taking our due credit for a job well done helps to
crystallize in our minds that we’re making progress. This in
and of itself is reason enough to “stop and smell the
roses”, as the saying goes. Not to mention that
acknowledging how far we’ve come so far helps to recharge
our internal batteries, which gives us the get up and go
we’ll need to make things happen in our lives!
Simply put, take pleasure in your efforts! Doing so helps to
remind us that what we’re doing is worth the effort. Here’s
hoping you’re well on your way to your own definition of
personal success.
Incidentally, if you haven’t gotten clear on what “success”
means to you, take a little time to define it. It’s hard to
hit a target when you don’t really know what it is.
It’s your life, LIVE BIG!
