How To Celebrate Your Achievements
How To Celebrate Your Achievements
Hi Friend,
Working long and hard towards your goals gives you the right to whoop it up a little when you've reached them. Right?
Or, does too much celebration hurt your chances for further success?
These are the questions that crossed my mind over the past couple of weeks watching reports about the upcoming NFL draft.
I saw all of the potential top draft picks planning their trips to New York City to be at the NFL draft, live. To bask in the glory of their accomplishments. To have the spotlight shine on them as they were introduced with their new teams. To relish the once in a lifetime experience. To finally get the recognition (and the cash) that they have worked so hard for.
With one exception...
One of the probable top 5 picks will be somewhere else - on a fishing boat in the middle of Lake Michigan to be exact - when his name is called.
The guy who is shying away from the big event - offensive tackle Joe Thomas.
Is this because he is not proud of his accomplishments? Is it because he's just a timid guy who'd rather not be in the limelight? What reason could there possibly be for not showing up in NYC?
In an interview, I think Thomas said it best. He didn't want to make too big a deal of the draft (or where he was picked, or which team picked him) because he didn't want to think of this as the high point of his career - only as the beginning.
Very smart if you ask me. No time to rest on his laurels, just time to start working even harder towards his next goals.
I think too many players who make it to the NFL see it as the pinnacle of their career. They dreamed and worked their whole lives to make it to the pros - but once they're there, they relax and never reach their full potential.
The great ones think more like Mr. Thomas. That making the pros is only a step - only one stop on the way towards their ultimate goal.
The really great ones know that there is no ultimate goal. That goal-seeking should be a lifelong process because when you quit moving forward... you're done for.
Apply this to your own goals and achievements. Yes, you should celebrate your success, but only to give you something to build on - to create more successes. Celebrate long enough for you to set a new goal and start moving toward it.
