Beyond Victories

Goals. You just did it. You achieved something you've been working at for a while. You worked hard and you guessed it payed off. Finally. But where do you go from there? Do you just celebrate and move on? Do you celebrate nonstop? Depending on who you are, there are many avenues for you to go down. I'd say, take a moment to relax and breathe. You have just put in your utmost time and effort. Then, try to build your momentum again. Getting that victory might just be what you need to really build your confidence and climb even higher mountains. 

Try and figure out what this win means for you. Monitoring your progress allows you to still have something to work towards and help yourself seize the next opportunity that you can take advantage of for your benefit. If you are about that growth mindset, you are already beyond successful. Training your mind to want to focus on getting better is key to chasing after your biggest dreams. Focus on what you will do. Focus on the new pathways you have opened up for yourself with this past win. Focus on what you have right in front of you and how you can use it to get to where you want to be. 

Don't get me wrong though. I don't want you to overlook your victories. By all means, celebrate them! You deserve it! It's just that I don't want to see people let go of the success that they have spent years and years developing. I don't want it to be a reason for someone to give up now that they achieved a particular goal. Imagine all the things that you can do now that you were able to accomplish that certain goal. Have the grit, perseverance, and motivation to go even further. Picture that second mountain to climb and repeat the process once more. This time, you are probably going to have more confidence knowing that you are able to accomplish anything you put your mind to. 

Analyze that victory of yours. Try and see if there is anything you could learn from or imitate in the future. Pick up the good habits and any minor smudges as lessons to tackle your next endeavor. Not only do you have to learn from the mistakes, but you can also learn from the victories and what it took for you to get there. Take into amount the routines you set up for yourself, the mindset you had days before the event, the stamina you built over a long period of time to get you to this very success. Try to evaluate these factors and bring them all together to set up your next big win. You know you have it in you.
