Goal for the Day: Make Your Triumphs Permanent

Being proud of your accomplishments is healthy. You can show pride in your life without being an obnoxious, pompous jerk who thinks the sun rises and sets on his tiny, little pin-head. We all know someone like that. We all have an acquaintance who is so impressed with herself that every time she sneezes, she thinks she solved all the ills of the world with her magical nasal rain.


However, a balanced sense of pride is healthful as well as necessary. When you accomplish something truly great, make that triumph permanent by finding some way of commemorating it. Frame a document to preserve it. Buy yourself a little treat which always reminds you of your good work. Keep a journal of your undertakings, so that you can revisit your achievements on those days when success is hard to come by. By providing yourself with reminders of what you have accomplished, you’ll be able to realize many more dreams to come.
