This week, I have been reminded that success is often disguised…I have often felt that in order for something to be considered a success, it must be something big, exciting, thunderous. I once asked a client what her biggest success was in the last year, and she replied, “I haven’t had any.” I was shocked, because she had just finished talking about her college graduation the month prior! When I pointed it out to her, she said…”Oh, yeah, I guess that counts, huh?” The fact is, we have “little” successes each day, whether we notice them or not. One thing I have used to focus more on my successes is to create a success journal. Each night before bed, I write 3-5 successes in a tiny notebook by the bed. It pushes me to find more success in my days, and makes me grateful for the ones I have, however “small” they may be. Remember…what you focus on grows, so focus on the wins, and you will get great results!
To your success,

Yes. Every night I ask myself, “How were you successful today?” It’s a great attitude to sleep on.
