Rarely the First, More Likely the 7th
Typically, Winning Secrets appear on Monday's. Not this week. Why?
Our oldest daughter had an outdoor wedding. I had the privilege of officiating the wedding; very cool. The weather cooperated, and the reception was a blast! But here's the Winning part....
During the ceremony, the couple shot a flaming arrow into a target prepped to burst into flames, igniting a bowl of lighter fluid atop the target stand. Epic!
But not at first.
It took 7 attempts, along with a fresh dousing of lighter fluid. When the target burst into flames, it was spectacular. The audience erupted into applause. I was so proud of the young couple's determination to make the unity event a success.
Here's what struck me from that experience.
Has any endeavor in your personal or professional life that was memorable, meaningful, or impactful succeeded on the very first attempt? Very rarely. And that's okay.
It SHOULD require diligence and determination to be successful. It makes the achievement of greater worth, and those pulling for you will celebrate even more knowing what you overcame.
One more thing....
There are ALWAYS people rooting for you to succeed, no matter what it feels like in the moment. They want you to be successful, and they're eager to celebrate with you.
Share your Wins, of all sizes, and watch who celebrates with you, whether it be 1 person or 100 people.
That's Winning More at Life - the Winners and those who celebrate with them.
Be both!!
