Why didn’t you say that?

“Wait, why didn’t you bring that up?” She wanted to know why I wasn’t celebrating the victory. The truth was that what she saw as a success never registered to me. I was too busy picking apart all the areas for improvement. And truthfully, if she had somehow found out and tried to celebrate it, I would have done my very best to minimize it. Maybe I am just a negative person, or maybe I still have a lot of growing left to do.

Part of “enjoying the journey” is taking the little detours to celebrate your successes. I’m not there yet; I don’t know how to celebrate. I don’t know how to find the small wins. That is something that I’m going to have to change.

So here is the small win. I got to writing this post instead of just quitting and breaking my streak.

Now, that I write it out is actually feels good. I might have to keep it up and give myself more symbolic pats on the back to keep myself going towards my goals.

What is one seemingly insignificant small win you could celebrate today?
