Some people think of a victory as something grand, an epic movie on the making, with sounding trumpets and all. Reality is – and you probably already know – most moments of victory are quite ordinary.
They can
come when we do a great sale, a wonderful project we proposed is approved, our
child gets an award or a very good friend recovers from illness. It is a
feeling that nothing can stop us and reality bends to our wishes.
There is no
formula for victory, and yet it is not a question of luck. It comes from
effort and thinking, victory is born from determination and dedication, and it
relies on concentration and patience.
However,
there is something in common with all types of victories: the first step is
usually a small one. The great sale started with a call or a response from an
inquiry; the project came from a conversation with a few friends; the award is
fruit of good parenting, talking to the child and motivating them, and the
friend’s recovery started with a google search…
Think about
your most recent victory and the more you think about it, you realize there is
a small step that would take you to that moment of victory.
So, what
about taking care of those steps? Yes, most of the time we are not aware which
step is going to take us towards that victory, but we can be more aware and
move with more focus, helping victory to come up.
