Celebrate your victories

In a few days time, I will discard the calendar on my desk.
But wait a minute. I flip through January to November…did I live all these days? Those were many days in such a short duration!
Its tempting to start thinking of all the things that you failed to do and all the flopped attempts—LET’S SHIFT!
Forget about what went wrong, somethings went right- right?
It it crucial to reflect on the things that you did right and forget about what went wrong.
I know you achieved a few things here and there, won some battles, overcame some habits, the sacrifices you made for some one in need, the obligations you met, the exam you passed, the certificate you added to your credentials, the course you enrolled, the friendship you mended…ADD.
Acknowledge the things that you are proud of having achieved. Fill your mind with such things and let them fill you with POSITIVE ENERGY..the strength to do more…FIND THEM AND CELEBRATE THEM!
Forget about what fell apart; what stood out?
If life was, metaphorically speaking, a flower garden, would you, at the end of the season be concerned with the withered roses and ignore the aroma of the blossoming ones? I would rather enjoy the scent of one blossomed rose, than bare the stench of ninety-nine withering ones…The one is more motivating than the ninety-nine!
We are very good at kicking ourselves in the back when we fall short; we need to learn better how to pat our backs for our achievements; Forget about what didn’t work; CELEBRATE WHAT WORKED!
Setting your mind on what failed is fatiguing, focus on what you achieved. Our efforts and successes are more important than our slip-ups.
God bless you VICTORS.
