Celebrate Wins Big or Small

We should celebrate life every day in some way. Life has a way of bringing sadness and joy. We naturally dwell on what is making us miserable. It takes a new mindset and daily practice to celebrate the bliss. It takes practice to let go of the thought that our circumstances affect our happiness. Therefore, we must constantly tell ourselves we hold the power for our pleasure. Essentially, the first step is allowing our minds to acknowledge that we can create our delight.

As a teacher, I have witnessed students struggle with learning content. They felt defeated or inadequate when the assignments seemed overwhelming or challenging. On the other hand, I have observed these same students feel confident in their abilities to do other things. The students got small wins through their successes. I always made a big deal about the little wins. I did it because I knew celebrating built their confidence. Their confidence would be greater for the next arduous task.

A beautiful life that is celebrated in some way every day, is possible to attain. Well, that is if you want it. For some people the only thing that is holding them back is themselves. It is as simple as taking a personal inventory of our inner dialogue and how we spend our time, so we can gain a deeper understanding of what we need to be happy and celebrate our wins. Then, nothing can stand in the way of a beautiful life.
