Celebrate Your Successes!
What have you accomplished lately? If you cannot think of anything, time to get to work. IF, however, you have had a break through in work or a real success, did you take the time to celebrate it?
Far too often we just move from one assignment to the next. NOT rewarding yourself for your true achievements in life can leave you feeling like you have not done enough or that you are substandard.
Worse, perhaps, is to celebrate a lack of accomplishment. It was a tough week so you feel you need to blow some money at the mall or eat a carton of expensive ice cream. Rewarding yourself for mediocrity will only lead to more mediocrity.
If you DID achieve a milestone or a goal in life, take some time and maybe spend some money to reward not only the effort, but also the accomplishment itself. Sales departments usually do this for sales people when they achieve sales targets. The reward spurs more of the same kind of activity and leads to further successes. Sports teams always celebrate goals, wins and championships.
But how often does finance celebrate a balanced budget? How often does IT celebrate installing a new programme?
Take a look at the next goal you, your team or a family member will achieve. Decide now to celebrate the success. Use the potential reward as a motivator. Chances are the reward will bring you even greater success in the future.
