Step 9: Achievement
Celebrating Your Victory
If you build a solid foundation and take consistent action toward your goal, success is inevitable.
Just as the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, it also ends with one final step.
Whether you’re on your first step or you’re nearing the end of your journey, it never hurts to look ahead and remind yourself where you’re going. This is one reason why affirmations are great motivators, they keep our eyes on our goal, especially when we face obstacles along the way.
But, let’s assume for a moment that you’ve done the hard work. You’ve weathered the ups and downs and come to the end of your journey…
Congratulations!
-
You dared to dream.
-
You found a powerful source of motivation.
-
You made a strong commitment.
-
You declared your intention.
-
You took consistent action.
-
You chose to grow and evolve.
-
You cultivated unshakeable resolve.
-
You overcame obstacles with persistence.
-
And now you’re here!
It’s time to celebrate!
Give yourself credit for your accomplishment. Don’t downplay what you’ve done by thinking about missteps along the way, focusing on the (seemingly greater) achievements of others, or feeling like you should’ve gotten here sooner.
You summoned up the courage to pursue a worthy goal. And you did what you set out to do. Now it’s time to fully experience the joy of realizing your dream!
Find a way to commemorate this moment. Capture the joy of your success in a picture or memento, or by rewarding yourself in some other memorable way.
Also, be sure to thank the people who’ve been on this journey with you. Your friends, family, accountability partner, mentor, and anyone else who contributed to your success.
Expressing gratitude is a great way to boost your joy and make this victory even more memorable! And, in the end, the enthusiasm you generate here will launch you into the final step of The Success Cycle!
