Need To Succeed

We need success. The road to realizing a dream is long and frustrating. The one big win that we imagine celebrating at the end is not going to keep us focused and motivated indefinitely. We’ll succumb to boredom and burn out long before we reach our eventual goal.

We need to experience victories along the way, daily, weekly, even hourly accomplishments. Regardless of how small a task is, if it moves us in the direction of the grand prize, we should acknowledge and celebrate its completion. 

Break your work into small tasks. Every time you complete a task, recognize it as an important, positive outcome, a step forward. You are succeeding on the way to greater success. Keep going and keep celebrating along the way.

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or stuck at any time, break your tasks down even further. Reduce what you need to do to its most essential components. Work on one thing at a time and reward yourself when you finish it. Feed your need to succeed with small but meaningful victories. Stay motivated by having fun and acknowledging all of your hard work.
