I Just Want to Celebrate

Sometimes your next step will be to celebrate an accomplishment. The celebration can be as simple as a pause for a moment of appreciation, or a quick Yay with a friend. Acknowledging achievement in this way is an important step if you want your success to be sweet.  

Would you be willing to try this right now? 

Bring to mind a time when you achieved something that was important or meaningful to you. It can be something current or from the past.

Now take a minute or two and think of the effort you used to achieve your accomplishment. 

Look at the steps you took. In what ways did you spend your time on this? Did you invest money? How did you use your creativity? Who helped you along the way? What did you enjoy about the journey? 

Appreciate all the energy that you used to get to this moment.

Don’t skip this important step. Practice celebrating at least once a day so it becomes a skill that comes naturally to you. See if you notice that life gets a bit sweeter as you do this.

I’d love to hear what you are celebrating today so post your celebration here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1002551123

You Gotta Start Somewhere

It's so true that you have to start somewhere. This post is proof of that. I have no idea how to do a blog. So I searched for "free blog" and got this. And now I will write something useful and clever for my first blog post, ha.

I am not afraid of the writing, I have tons of wisdom and tips for folks. But I am clumsy and fearful about technology. Even as I write this I don't know how to make it so you all can see it. But I'm writing anyway. When I get my 150 words written, I'll hit the "Publish Post" button and take it from there.

Because it's true that you gotta start somewhere, and all you need to do is the next step. The scarier it is for you, the smaller the step you should take. Small steps make things easier.
