Certainly it can be healthy to keep your eyes on the prize.  It keeps us motivated and working towards the achievement of the things that are most important to us.  I am extremely guilty of spending so much time in forward motion along the roadmap of my life that I forget to look back along the travels I have already made and rejoice in them.  Often time’s one goal is achieved just seconds before it becomes an even larger step to a bigger dream.  With this kind of momentum it is easy to lose sight of just how far I have come.  It is vitally important to stop and celebrate ALL of your achievements.  The small details of achievement were the stepping stones that enabled you to make it where you are today and they are absolutely the reason that you feel positively empowered and enlightened to broaden the spectrum of your successes to come.

Much of what we accomplish skirts underneath the conscious radar of our family or peers and by taking the time to bask in our own glory- we are renewing our energy tenfold.  The more we do the more we and our peers will expect us to accomplish and by reveling in your list of accomplishments you will feel no doubt about your abilities.  It may even be a good idea to keep a running list in a notebook of all the things you have done and pull it out every time you feel doubt or fatigue setting in. Never wait for someone else to notice or thank you for all that you have done not just today, but in the past year or 5 years as well.  Celebrate in any way that makes you feel proud and as more meaningful and inspiring things come your way reward your self for the incredible woman that you are!  Gratitude is the art of not just seeing your cup half full but celebrating the cup and the water source that fills it as well. Always remember that your cup of life is filled with the cool and sparkling elements of YOU!
