Limitless Living Blog #50 - Celebrate Small Wins

Celebrate Small Wins

I can't believe we're at the 50th blog post! I'm so pumped and rejuvenated that we made it to 50. This is a small win. Nonetheless, I can roll this small win momentum into going for 100 blog posts. My name is Scotty and welcome to the 50th blog post here on the Limitless Living Blog. Thanks for tuning in.

Why celebrate small wins? I've come to learn, the hard way, that if you're looking only for the big win, you're going to become discouraged. Big wins are somewhat rare, but do happen. Winning the NBA Finals is a big win, but making it to the playoffs is a smaller win. To win the Finals, you have to make the playoffs. Focusing on the big picture without any time for detailing the small wins, can overwhelm you. When mistakes happen, your big picture could look impossible, when all along, you've accumulated five small wins, and not even realized it. Without realizing it, that one mistake could've derailed your confidence to move forward. You should've had confidence building up with the small wins. I struggled with this a lot. I used to think that if I didn't hit the big win within a certain time limit, I was wasting my time. So I was constantly getting overwhelmed and stressed. That's not true at all if you look at your small wins. Don't stress yourself out, consider and celebrate your small wins. They will eventually add up to your NBA Finals, whatever that looks like for you.
