3 Reasons You Should Celebrate Milestones

I’ve been working around the clock (not literally but it feels that way) to gain some traction with this organization — to gain followers and to encourage people to engage with my posts.

It is a slow, long-game process, and there are days that it feel like I’m not making any progress. But this week, I experienced several milestones that would be completely inconsequential to a seasoned content creator but to me were amazing.

It got me thinking about the importance of celebrating not only when we’ve accomplished our goals but also when we hit the milestones along the way. (I have to give credit to Coach Kozak from HASFit. He put this “milestone” idea in my head to begin with.)

Here are 3 reasons you should celebrate milestones:

1. Celebrating milestones will help you cultivate a mindset of gratefulness because you will start to realize how special, fulfilling, and meaningful the “little” things are.
2. Celebrating milestones might give someone else encouragement to purse their goals. You may only help/impact/affect one person directly, but that person knows hundreds of people. They’re bound to influence one of them, and that person will influence someone, and so on and so on. Indirectly, you have impacted hundreds, maybe thousands, of lives.
3. Celebrating milestones gives you the push you need to keep going. Whenever you pursue a goal, you are bound to hit more roadblocks than milestones, but the milestones are there to tell you that you are on the right path. You need them as a reminder that you can persist, persevere, and push past those roadblocks.
