Celebrate your wins...

When we reach a goal, personally or professionally, it is important to celebrate and acknowledge what it took to reach that objective. Recently I read an article in Psychology Today (June 2024) and it said,” …when people celebrate their achievements, they are more likely to remain motivated and pursue further goals, creating a positive feedback loop of success and satisfaction.” I couldn’t agree more with this statement. I think at times we don’t celebrate our successes as much as we should because we don’t want to appear “braggy” or self-serving.

Recently my daughter got into her dream college (‘go Hoos’). It was so satisfying to see her reach this goal after a significant amount of work and effort over many years. My hope is that by celebrating and acknowledging her tremendos efforts, it will reinforce this behavior throughout her life. Take time to celebrate your wins and it will likely lead to more success.
