Through my journey in life… I discovered how important it is to celebrate even your smallest accomplishments. Celebrate them often, like how you would every year for your birthday. See sometimes, we get so caught up in where we want to be, that we lose sight of where we are right now. Where you are right now, is not where you were last year. It’s not even where you were yesterday. Mentally, you are so driven to get to your goal that you forget that you just got 1 step closer to it by waking up today.

You want to open up a business one day, celebrate yourself for the research you’ve done thus far to prepare yourself for the day you open your business.

You want to pursue your Masters, celebrate yourself for being enrolled in school and not giving up.

You want to be in a healthy committed relationship, celebrate yourself for leaving the toxic one behind, for knowing that you deserve better, and preparing to give yourself BETTER.

When you focus on the now and celebrate the steps you’ve taken along the way, your goal no longer appears at a distance… its just around the corner.
