Praise even the smallest victories

What is success? Some people might define it as doing something grand, like receiving an award, passing the bar or even working for a Fortune 500 company. Of course all of those successes are quiet amazing and something one should be proud of but what about the little successes? Shouldn't we praise those just as much? 

Think of it this way...if we don't take a moment and recognize that smaller victories are just as important then we may never find full satisfaction in our success as an individual. Everything has a process. Even our journey in life. Where were you a year ago? Six months ago? For me it's been my health and fitness. I have come such a long way but I know it will be a life long journey for me. 

I think in order for us to continue in our daily success it's important to have goals. Make small goals...for instance, tell yourself tomorrow you will turn all negatives into a positive. Or maybe something smaller like not drinking soda. Imagine what kind of person you will become by creating small goals everyday or every week. And remember to always praise even the smallest victories. Because the small victories will lead us to our greatest successes. 

I am original...

Do you have a fear of success? Some days I wake up feeling ready to conquer the world. Other days I feel sluggish and want to hide from my dreams and hopes of who I know I can be. Am I the only one who fears of being successful?

Its a constant battle in this world- fighting for what you love, fighting to be somebody. My biggest fear is being ordinary and unoriginal. I also feel like the only reason I'm not where I want to be today is because of that underlining fear. Its a terrible flaw and something I struggle with on a daily basis. If it wasn't for my workouts some days I don't know how I would deal with it. How do other people deal with it? I know I'm not ordinary. I know I have a lot to offer this world, whether its in my career, my relationships, or other aspects of my life. I have so much loyalty to those who are loyal to me. I am strong willed and born a fighter. I won't give up on what I want to be. I know I can be something great and I will be something great. I just need to find it deep within me to let go of that fear. To whisk it away and say NO! I will not give up. I will not let it overtake me. I am born to do something great in this world and nothing will get in the way of that.

Motivating yourself isn't easy- I have to dig deep some days when I'm not feeling up to par. Without my creativity, without my workouts, letting go of that fear would be impossible. Sometimes you have to say goodbye to negativity and welcome the positive side of life (even when you aren't feeling it) to overcome that fear. And keep telling yourself....I am GREAT. I am STRONG. I am ORIGINAL.
