The reason why most people become discouraged in life is because they dont want to learn from small wins. They undermine the small wins because they are busy looking at the big wins that are not yet happening in their lives. And they miss the lessons they are supposed to learn from those small wins.
A person who doesnt appreciate the small wins is someone who will never get to the big wins. They are forgetting that even the great and successful people didnt start with big wins. They failed many times and they counted those failures as small wins, thats why they never stopped. They used those small wins as stepping stones to get to their big break. I love the words of Sir Richard Branson when he said, every year he would start multiple businesses intentionally because he knew that most of them would fail and those failures would lead him to businesses that will be a huge success. Today he is a billionaire because he appreciated the small wins that other people looked down on. Small wins to others means you lost and yet they dont know or understand the wealth of knowledge and wisdom you got from the little wins they look down on.
Today put on your magnifying glass and look at all those small wins, especially the ones you believed that they are insignificant. Appreciate them, feel good that you had wins this year. Dont just write this year off just because you didn’t win big. Your life is not a lottery where you will make it big first time. Those small wins that others didnt even notice, clap hands for yourself because they are a sign that you have moved, they are a sign that you have grown, they are sign that you made some right decisions. Those small wins you had this year are taking you to your big wins in the new year. Dont despise the small wins and small beginnings. You are destined for greatness and those small wins you had this year are showing you that you are a winner. Those small wins must remind you that winning is in your DNA. You are born to win in this life. Build your confidence with the small wins you had this year.
