As we enter the fifth month of 2024, we find ourselves
wondering how we even got here. We are all tired. We need a break. Mentally,
financially, spiritually, physically. We all need something to look forward to,
something to keep us moving forward.
Success is something that we all deeply desire. Success in
relationships. Success in business. Successful finances. Success in health. We
push ourselves to the limits every single day. We sacrifice so much of
ourselves in this pursuit. We set goals. Yet when we achieve these, we push
past them, ruthlessly in pursuit of the next box to tick. We don’t take a pause
and see what we have achieved.
Celebration is not something we know how to do. We are taught
to celebrate the big things only. What if we celebrated the small things. The
things that we take for granted every single day. What if we took time to just
breathe. We are also so caught up in ourselves that we cannot bring ourselves
to celebrate the success of those around us. And in turn, to announce our own
success, because who will celebrate with us? Who will not covet what we have
achieved, degrade its value by reasoning it down. Favours called in, unfair
advantages, familiar benefits.
What if for today we acknowledged just how amazing and
incredible WE are? What if today we look inwards and WE see what we have
achieved? On our own merit - that we don’t need our spouse, lover, friend,
family members, co-workers or boss to give us the nod of approval, to tell us
that they are proud of us – because at the end of the day, our opinion of
ourselves is ACTUALLY the only one that matters.
Lets not just be kind to each other, but to ourselves too
