Inform Yourself

Your Achievement is in every step you make while in route to your goals. Every step, every move, every feeling you experience should be recognized and celebrated. If you have moved in any manner whatsoever, you have achieved! You are moving, growing and expanding yourself and this is significant for you!

Celebrating your achievements is extremely important to your continued success and progress. So, how should you celebrate your success? I recommend selecting a thing or place that puts you on top of the world. Something you enjoy more than anything else. Reward yourself! You’ve earned it! The more you reward yourself for your successes, the more this feeling will be associated with moving toward achieving your goals. This awesome feeling becomes so desirous that you will move toward it again and again, closer and closer, achieving more and more goals. You will amaze yourself how quickly and easily you move toward “Your Blissful Life.”

Think of your achievements as likened to carrots for a racehorse. The reward is more than worth the journey! What could be more rewarding than achieving “Your Blissful Life?”

Imagine how you will feel when you reach your personal pot of gold, your Emerald City, your apex! Others will watch in total amazement as they see you transition toward who you want to be and where you want to go.

I rewarded myself in numerous ways throughout my journey. For smaller accomplishments, I rewarded myself with a nice gift. This would typically be something that I wanted but might not normally purchase for myself. These items ranged from dinner at a nice restaurant to buying CDs or MP3s that I had wanted for a while. Sometimes I simply gave myself permission to take an afternoon off to go enjoy the park or the lake, the bonus to this reward being that I typically do my most focused thinking and deepest reflection when I connect with nature. For larger accomplishments, I rewarded myself with larger items. Not necessarily larger in price, but larger in terms if importance to me. Sometimes I would go camping for a weekend at near Ohio’s Lake Erie Islands. Other times, I would take time off and simply lie round by the pool for the weekend. It didn’t matter what the reward was, as long as it was enjoyable and important to me. I deserved the reward: I had worked hard, I had allowed myself to be open to growth and experience, and I had moved along my path toward my ultimate goal, “My Blissful Life.” Reward yourself, you’ve earned it!
