Celebrate your progress, no matter how small from "summary" of Happier : Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment by Tal Ben-Shahar
When we embark on a journey of personal or professional growth, we often set lofty goals for ourselves. These goals can be intimidating, overwhelming, and seemingly out of reach. As a result, we may feel discouraged and demotivated, especially when progress is slow or imperceptible. It is during these moments of frustration and self-doubt that we must remind ourselves of the importance of celebrating even the smallest of victories. Celebrating progress, no matter how small, is crucial for maintaining our motivation and sense of fulfillment along the way. By acknowledging and appreciating the steps we have taken, no matter how incremental they may seem, we reinforce our commitment to our goals and boost our confidence in our ability to achieve them. This positive reinforcement creates a virtuous cycle of progress and celebration that propels us forward even in the face of challenges and setbacks. Moreover, celebrating small victories allows us to cultivate a mindset of gratitude and positivity. Instead of fixating on what we have yet to accomplish, we shift our focus to what we have already achieved. This shift in perspective not only enhances our overall well-being but also helps us stay resilient and optimistic in the face of adversity.- Celebrating progress, no matter how small, is not just about patting ourselves on the back for a job well done. It is about recognizing the effort, perseverance, and growth that each step forward represents. It is about embracing the journey and finding joy in the process, rather than fixating solely on the destination. So, the next time you feel like your progress is insignificant or unworthy of celebration, remember that every step forward, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goals and deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated.
