Give Yourself credit

All to often we label and/or measure our accomplishments and successes by a series of big wins without taking into account the small wins and accomplishments we have had that have brought us to the place where we are.

When we only acknowledge the big wins it can often cause us to feel as though we are not doing enough. I know I'm guilty of that! There have been times where I've beat myself up because I've been so high strung on "dang I didn't get to do this or dang I didn't get to do that". When, in all honesty, I should have just sat back and actually took a moment to breathe and see that I actually did achieve some great things even if I didn't fully get around to doing any and everything.

I have learned to take time and celebrate my victories no matter how big or small. I have also learned, well I'm still learning, how to stop beating myself up about the things that I didn't accomplish and instead use it as motivation to go that much harder, be that much better, and do that much more because in all aspects of life the only limitations that we have are the ones we place on ourselves.

You are truly amazing and you did not get to the place where you are in your life by chance. Remember to always take a moment to acknowledge your wins because in acknowledging those wins, you motivate yourself that much more to go all out after the things you want to achieve.

WTBS: Work on not beating yourself up so much and start giving yourself credit for accomplishments you've made no matter how big or small.
