Boost Your Success by Celebrating Your Wins

Every path to success consists of achievements and failures, and while it is important to learn from failure it is even more important that you take the time to celebrate the achievements. All major goals have many small goals that have to be accomplished. This is because being successful is a journey, one that you make a plan for and work towards. The work you put in is important. So every win should be celebrated for many reasons. 

• Success mindset: this is the mindset that has you focusing on what you have accomplished and how you accomplished it rather than focusing on what hasn’t gone well. You develop this by celebrating yourself and your accomplishments. Once you are in this mindset your belief in yourself becomes strong. Instead of thinking look at all I have left to do, you start to think I can succeed in this too since I’ve already had success before. You become a successful person in your own eyes rather than a person that is trying to succeed but hasn’t gotten there yet. 
• Motivation: motivation directly leads to momentum. This is because if you break down your successes into small wins you can see how well you are actually doing. This then leads to you being more motivated to continue on your path because you can see your upward movement towards your primary objective. 
• Learn: when you recognize your achievements you can see how you got to that point and continue using what works on your track to prosperity. You begin to learn and improve from past successes.  
• Feelings: it feels great to celebrate an achieved goal no matter the size. When you feel good about what you are doing, you have a better moral. Feeling good will keep you on track rather than giving up or becoming stressed and overwhelmed. You need to take the time to recognize your accomplishments so that you don’t become bogged down in the hard work. If you do not have good feelings towards what you are doing then you will not do well in making your goals a reality. 
• Shared accomplishments: it’s also essential to celebrate triumphs that are shared between you and others. Not only does this help with workplace morale it also supports good and healthy work relationships. Also teaches you how to ask for help or even offer your help to others. Working hand in hand with others is integral to success. So celebrating when coworkers have come together, worked hard, and come to a positive conclusion will make your end goal that much sweeter. 

Every win is a win no matter the size. This can be a promotion in your chosen career or positive feedback from management. Both are equally important because success isn’t just about the end goal, it is also about how you got there. All the work you have put into your achievements deserves to be recognized and rewarded. Celebrate every milestone in your journey and the way there will be filled with more appreciation and happiness.
