Celebrate The Small Wins

I saw multiple bumblebees
in the small clover patch
I’ve been nurturing.

I celebrated that win.

I finally finished
a very challenging chapter one.

I celebrated that win.

We were told
the interest-free loan
covering our
solar power installation
has finally progressed
to the review stage.

We celebrated that win.

Yes, we talk about
celebrating the small wins
often
here on client k.

We need these reminders
because the rest of the world
definitely
does NOT celebrate them.

Often we focus
on all
we have yet to achieve
and not everything
we have achieved.

And we need to celebrate
the small wins
because…
well…big wins
are usually a collection
of small wins.

Small wins can also
motivate us.
They show us
our plans are working.
We’re making progress.

Also…
celebrations create
a happier life.

Celebrate the small wins.

It Isn’t A Competition

A gardener buddy
was talking about
how he ‘cheats’
when making compost.

Making compost isn’t a competition, dude.

No one is tracking
how you make compost
or how much you make
or how quickly you make it.

Much of building a business
isn’t a competition either.

We sometimes compete
with other businesses
for customers.
Yes. That’s true.

But we don’t compete
with them
in the
who wakes up the earliest
or
who works the longest hours
or
who goes the longest
without seeing loved ones,
etc.
categories.

Ignore the urge
to compete in areas
no one truly cares about.

Go at your own pace.

Find your own happiness.

Setting Fun And Small 2024 Goals

Many of us
are setting goals
for next year.

We’re focusing
on the huge
life or business changing goals.

But we should remember
the little goals also.
The goals that are easily achievable.
Goals like
spending one meal a week
with family or friends
or
going meat-free
for one meal a week
or
learning how
to change a tire.

And remember the fun goals.
Because life SHOULD be fun.
Goals like
telling one bad joke a week
or
learning one TikTok dance
a month
or
having one movie night
a month
with family or friends.

These type of goals
add value to our lives
AND
when we achieve them,
they motivate us
to achieve larger or more serious goals.

Add some fun and small goals
to your list!
