The mindset to celebrate success.
Speaking notes:
There are some people out there who are afraid to feel good about success.
These people are afraid to win.
And if they do win, they play it cool and act like it’s no big deal.
Other people celebrate every time they win. Even the smallest wins they give a WHOHOO!
Who do you suppose is going to have success in life?
Some of you listening to this will be scratching your head and wondering, how can anyone be afraid of winning . . . success?
If you Google “fear of success” you’ll get about 430 million results.
There are a lot of us out in the world who struggle with the idea of winning and being successful.
A lot of different reasons people develop fear of success.
Mine came from growing up in church.
Lessons I learned there:
Blessed are the poor in spirit.
Blessed are the meek.
Put others before yourself.
God will only give you money so you can support the church.
Love of money is the root of evil.
My takeaway:
Good Xans aren’t supposed to be competitive.
Good Xans aren’t supposed to want a surplus of money.
Good Xans aren’t supposed to be winners.
Result:
Second to bottom on my HS tennis team. Every game a tie.
Rarely won at ping pong. Most games a tie.
I never celebrated when I did win.
Work with life coach to get over my limiting beliefs.
One change I made was to celebrate my wins (achievements).
Old me: Play it cool when I completed a goal. Check the box … next!
Coach: If you don’t celebrate, your mind won’t realize that success is important.
When you celebrate your wins, your mind remembers. The next time you are working on a goal or trying to win a game, your mind is a work pushing you forward.
If you don’t celebrate your wins, your mind says, “Pfft! It doesn’t matter.”
No matter who you are, you need to remember to celebrate when you reach your goal and when you come out a winner!
Do the dance in the end zone. Jump up and down. Raise your hands in the air and yell.
Celebrating your success is just one of many tools you can use to live your best life.
