Girlfriend - look at how far you’ve come in your life and how much personal growth you’ve done. You are wicked smart, you’ve made it through some very difficult challenges in your life, and you’re working really, really hard to build a good life for you and your family. I bet that if you sat down right now with a pen and paper, you could make a solid list of at least 10 things that you’ve done well recently. One of our Breakthrough Moms members recently posted a quote in our group this past week, that I love, and it says, “Yes you may still have a long way to go, but my gosh, have you seen how far you’ve come?” Today I wanted to talk about the importance of stopping to acknowledge and appreciate our successes. As a personal development person, you likely have dreams and visions of how you want to continue to grow and develop and improve your life, and perhaps sometimes you fear that if you celebrate your successes too early, you’ll slow down in your progress, and you’ll be tempted to settle where you are, and halt your growth. Today we’re going to talk about why you don’t need to worry about this, and why stopping to celebrate your wins, even your small wins, is actually necessary for continued growth.
