This Week’s Challenge: Celebrate the small wins!
Every step forward, no matter how small, is progress. Make sure to celebrate even the smallest wins. Your child only cried for 30 minutes this morning instead of the typical 45, your spouse remembered to put his/her dishes in the dishwasher, and you exercised today. Win, win, win! Make it clear to others that you see their progress as well. Become the loudest cheerleader for other people’s victories. Validate their joy instead of minimizing it, shifting the spotlight on yourself, or becoming jealous. There is room enough for everyone to grow, succeed, and move forward. Remember that someone else’s success doesn’t minimize your own.
“Celebrate the success of others. High tide floats all ships.” — Susan Elizabeth Phillips
