Celebrate rather than Scold Yourself

The key to success is to remain focused on what you have done rather than what you haven't. Of course it is important to know what you need to do to move forward but the key is not to focus and dwell on it. Quite simply, this will drag you down.

Focusing on what you have done will help you to maintain the feelings of success we spoke about on page 3 of this tutorial and motivate you to keep going. Therefore focus on this. Remember:

“It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.” — Confucius

I prefer to interpret this quote as It doesn't matter how slowly you go, so long as you step forward. It is important to stop and take time out to recharge. But to return back and keep going.

You are human. Life happens. Distractions come and go. The key is to know what is important to you and do one thing each day to take you a step closer, no matter how small. These small steps accummulate, build momentum and when you reflect and look back over a year. You will see the changes.

What are you celebrating this week?
