Celebrate it!

We are all so focused on the next milestone that once we have achieved something, the mind automatically gets consumed by the next milestone we seek or the one we narrowly missed.

Over the years, I haven't done justice in celebrating the wins. It wasn't a conscious decision, but the mind would in auto mode start looking forward to the next and then the next milestones. I always felt there is many a mile before I celebrate.

In the last few years one learning for me has been to celebrate each win, however small it maybe for it builds momentum to continue with the journey. I am trying to make a conscious attempt to focus on celebrating the small & the big (still learning). For, there may well be a long way to go in the journey, it still doesn't take away from where we have come or what we have accomplished.

Pause and celebrate that
- tough project closure that taught you something
- great client feedback,
- increment we looked forward to for a year,
- new role/job,
- the promotion
- the great presentation you gave

Celebrating something doesn't mean we are getting complacent. It means we value our contributions and are refueling ourselves through a celebration for the journey ahead.

Celebrate It.
