Celebrating the Small Wins

 It's time to shine a spotlight on the incredible wins, breakthroughs, and milestones that each of you has accomplished.​Often, we find ourselves focusing on the challenges and setbacks we face.​While it's crucial to address those hurdles and learn from them, it's equally essential to recognize and acknowledge the triumphs along the way.

If you are anything like me and the people that I know, you are ambitious, you want to do better, you strive for more, sometimes even perfection. In that striving, we focus on what can be improved, we focus on what was done and then we move on to another. We hardly ever focus on what we did well for more than a minute. What I have learnt is that there are lessons in what we did well, and there is a purpose for celebrating the small wins.

This is a gentle reminder to celebrate the small wins, celebrate your accomplishments, celebrate YOU.

Celebrating YOU is reflecting to the Universe a feeling of gratitude.  A feeling of worthiness, A feeling of willingness to receive more.

The other lesson I have learnt is....there is a pause in the celebration. We have a tendency to move from project to project, job to job, act to act- because we believe the pause will slow us down and life has to be lived with its responsibilities and expectations so we press on/ The celebration gives us a moment to pause and reflect. 


Its time for you to shine! to recognize the triumphs and give yourself some love

Shine on

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
