Today I learned that sometimes we have to change our perspective of success. It doesn’t always look like we thought it would. I had an expectation for my son today that worked out way differently than it played out in my head. Yet, I realized for him, it was a huge success. This is why celebrating the tiny wins is just as important than celebrating the big wins. It encourages us, helps us stay focused, and builds resilience and persistence. So, remember to acknowledge the little things—they matter. And remember to release the expectations that weren’t met. It doesn’t mean the outcome was bad, it was just different. This is surrender.
