Wanna feel successful? Realize your days are already filled with successes.
Gonna get all High School Valedictorian speech and say, Oxford Dictionary defines “success” as: the achievement of a desired result or outcome; the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.
Which means, by definition, you could aim to brush your teeth, accomplish brushing your teeth, and that is a success. Then strut around knowing you’ve already been successful today!
To which you might think, “Technically yes, BUT…”
But brushing teeth isn’t a big enough achievement.
But it doesn’t make money.
But it’s not growing as a person.
But I can’t brag about it on social media.
But but buuuuut…
To which I say, remember the power of “Yes, AND.”
Making millions of dollars is a measurement of success.
Yes.
ANNNND… so is getting out of bed. (It’s so warm and comfy!)
Maybe you didn’t climb Everest today (lazy), but you did go for a walk. That might not be considered “worthy” of other people lifting you up and chanting your name, but it is worthy of YOU celebrating.
YES, celebrate the big achievements, AND the little ones. Clock enough little ones and they’ll start to feel big, too.
“I wrote a book today!”
“Yes! And I made a sandwich!”
“Look at us, just two successful people!”
