The Importance Of Your Small Successes
How to use your small successes to achieve your long-term goals.
It is easy to forget about all of our small victories. For some people, their first achievement of the day is just getting out of bed. For others it is striking up a conversation with someone new, and for someone else it might be closing a million-dollar sale.
Our successes are all relative to our own goals, ambitions and beliefs. My small success might be a huge one for you, and vice versa. The important thing is that we think they are successes.
Successes of all sizes are powerful tools. They are not just reward mechanisms, but instead they are motivations, measuring sticks, and even learning curves. They drive us forward to our next success, while showing us how far we have come and how far we still have to go.
Learn From Both Failures and Successes
It’s common knowledge that we must learn from our mistakes, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn a lot from our successes too. They may appear to be fewer and further between than our failures, but even our small successes show us what actually works for us, and they can indicate what makes us feel good as well.
