Celebrate Successes

Too often, we get frantically caught up with work, projects, and the myriad of things we do daily. It's a go, go, go world!

It is so essential for us to pause occasionally and take a look at what we create and contribute. It is a "must" to take time out to celebrate successes - ours and others. Big or small, our work needs to be honored and acknowledged. We often wait for others: our bosses, teachers, family and friends to do this for us. It's great when they do. But we also need to do this for ourselves. We need to celebrate our own contributions. By doing this, we re-inspire ourselves to keep moving forward with our work and our calling. By re-igniting our passion and confidence, we can then easily do this for others as well.


Take a good look around you. Is your garden blooming beautifully? Is that new HTML hack working fine? Did you just complete another chapter of the book you are writing? Is your family thriving with the home environment you create? Is your business showing a nice profit?

Did someone you know just get a promotion? gotten published? had a new baby? bought their first home? finished a great project?

How do we celebrate our successes? It can be as simple as saying a prayer of gratitude, lighting up a candle, sending out an email, calling someone on the phone, a special dinner out or at home, buying a nice little gift, calling the media! You know what works best for you and yours.

Pause! Celebrate successes. It spreads so much joy around.
