Celebrating The Little Victories
It is so easy for us to get engrossed in our daily struggles of trying to get things done that we often times fail to realize those seemingly small but yet impactful victories in our life/journey.

While the goal is usually a big one, I think it is equally important that we celebrate these little victories that often times go unnoticed.
Realize that without those little victories, the big ones might never come! While it may seem tempting to just overlook them, it will be great if we learn to look past that temptation
If you don't learn to acknowledge these little wins and celebrate them, you might very soon find yourself exhausted, drained and with no drive to carry on. That is because it may seem to you like there are no results while in reality, there are, just that they seemed small that they were ignored.
When you learn to put some (effort?) into keeping tab of all these little victories and celebrating them, your journey wouldn't seem as tedious or uninteresting. You will soon find the motivation you need to keep going!
Celebrating these little wins doesn't mean going out of your way to throw a really huge party, inviting friends over etc. Well, if that were it, you will be having a party every night and soon enough, the real reason behind it will get lost. It will become counter-productive, a disaster!

It's about teaching yourself to acknowledge and appreciate these wins, let yourself feel the excitement as you would when celebrating a milestone because you deserve to, and once in a while, give yourself a treat. Yeah, it's nothing hard!
Learning this won't only motivate you to keep going on but it will give you a sense of happiness even when the journey gets tough.
When you learn to appreciate the little victories, you will learn to enjoy and appreciate the journey as well, because these little wins come as a result of the journey, not the destination.
It gives us an understanding that the journey might not be as boring as we had thought, and that the journey is where the fun lies. It is where "things" happen.
Don't get caught up in trying to reach "there" when you can very much live "here". While it's okay to look at the bigger picture, understand that it is these little steps or victories that make up that big one that you so much want to reach. Without them, that "there" won't be reached, learn to give them the attention they deserve.

The journey might be tough, you might feel down sometimes but the knowledge of these little wins/victories will give you the motivation you need to keep moving and living.
It takes having a grateful heart to be able to notice and appreciate these little victories. So, have a grateful heart, notice these little wins, be grateful for them and let them motivate you that things are gonna work out in the end.

Much Love, Audrey
