When Was The Last Time You BROKE NEW GROUND?
When Was The Last Time You BROKE NEW GROUND? Seriously, this is NOT an inquisition. Neither is this a demand. BUT in life, we all agree that after you have reached your PIT STOP and achieved on a milestone, you deserve a RESPITE, a BREAK and more than that, you deserve that 'MINI' milestone celebratory pause from your normal frenetic pace. I patted many folks on their back for their various achievements within a milestone. And we understand that no matter how minor or negligible a milestone achievement may be, we do deserve that celebratory pause. I myself i did WALK THE TALK since time immemorial till to date. I never look the other way around whenever I had a milestone achievement๐๐๐
BUT not to dampen those celebrations because after all, our brains are built to remember NEGATIVES more than POSITIVES. That's NEGATIVE BIAS. And remembering the POSITIVES takes extra effort BUT we got to realize that those POSITIVES build our self-esteem. And by renewing our self-esteem, we build HOPE and MOTIVATION for our future. What is missed out or overlooked often [and I did miss that out several times in the past], After all the celebrations and congratulations, drawing attention to the feeling that accompanies success is as important than celebrating success itself๐๐๐
WHY? The answer gets to why focusing is even important in the first place. The purpose of FOCUS is NOT just to get things done [although that is what most people will say [if you ask them]. But in the BIG PICTURE, the task will either get done or NOT, and life will go on either way. You may get the A's or the B's or even worse. BUT there are consequences that flow from those outcomes that can be important to the circumstances of our future life✅✅✅
Once we achieve or accomplish something within a milestone, it is NOT just the external rewards and consequences that matter. It is also the internal sense of satisfaction and pride. Knowing that you can and did do well is important. And one reason why it is that important is because it will help build further SUCCESSES in the future❗❗❗
