In reply to Tamara MacDuff. Hi Tamara, Thank you for the compliment. Just knowing that the post is timely for you has made my day and this is a win that I will be celebrating. It normally isn't the destination that we wish to reach but the journey which is the real experience and each event, big or small is worthy of celebrating. That way, when we have a setback, we can still motivate ourselves to move forward. I love the way your friend described goal setting. At the end of the day, how we feel or want to feel will keep us going.

Hi Vatsala,
This is a not only a great post and reminder for celebrating small successes, it is very timely for me. I was just talking to a friend who is also a life coach for coaches – she told me to set my goals based on the visualization of my succeeding. She said to set the goals based on how I would feel when I succeed at the big goal – so that the big goal is set not in the mindset of now – it’s set in the end result feeling. I thought that was very interesting way to approach goal setting. Reframing failures is very important and celebrating any success, there are no small successes is important too to keep moving forward. Thank you!

In reply to Liz. I love your 3 prong approach to seeing failure as a stepping stone to future success, Liz. It is hard to remain positive when the outcome is not what one wanted and that is when we need to take a step back and examine our goal in light of the big picture and other areas of our life. Somewhat like the Moving Cheese example in my previous post.

In reply to Joan Harrington. Thank you Joan. Celebrating even the smallest of the small successes does help us to keep our focus and maintain objectivity that the entire project is not a dismal failure but just needs a bit of tweaking for super success.

Fantastic post Vatsala!

Having setbacks are not fun, but you have listed some awesome ways to deal with those 🙂 Thank you!

I love that you mentioned “give yourself a gift” what a great idea 🙂 I always celebrate my “small” successes and that is good, because it helps me to focus 🙂

I used to be one of those people that thought if I didn’t get whatever I wanted, I was a complete failure. Now I look at my failure in three different ways: 1) it was a rehearsal for something better in the future, 2) it is not where I am supposed to be right now, and 3) if the desire is still there, there is a different way to succeed and I just need to keep looking for it. Thank you for the insight, Vatsala. Sometimes it is hard to remain positive when the outcome it not what one wants. 🙂

In reply to Kaz. You've made my day, Kaz! You are absolutely right about failure. That only happens when we give up. Have a great weekend.

Great blog Vatsala! First, I loved the title. “Celebrate small successes” that’s I think super important! We need a “winning habit” to win, which comes from celebrating small successes. And as you said, failure doesn’t exist until you give up. Learn from it and move forward! Thanks for the great reminders. I truly enjoyed reading your blog 🙂
