When Do You Celebrate Your Successes?



Success is a funny word.  Everyone’s definition of success seems different and that definition seems to grow as we grow as individuals. Rarely, do I come across a person who would call themselves a success. We might raise the bar or change our definition based on hard learned lessons, so celebrating success often evades us. 

But, isn’t a step in the right direction a reason to celebrate? If 10 weeks of working out is a goal, is the tenth workout the only reason to celebrate? Each successful week of working out your physical body is a huge reason to celebrate! Everyone who values their health knows to take care of it physically, mentally and chemically by what they eat and breath, but caring for all of these aspects of health is a challenge.  If working out is your challenge then each week of successfully working out is a huge reason to celebrate. Every time you respond well to working out and are an encouragement to others is one of the biggest reasons to celebrate.

My point is that we often glide right past many opportunities to celebrate success. Celebrating is simply another way we can be thankful and grateful for what has just happened in our lives or the life of someone we care about. Basically, celebrating is a public declaration of our gratitude. And why wouldn’t we all want to be a walking billboard for gratitude?  We have learned over and over that attracting great health and success is all about experiencing and expressing gratitude.

So let’s declare gratitude and celebrate success at every opportunity.
