 Most People Who Find It Too Hard to Celebrate Their Small Victories Do So Because of These 15 Things

Small victories are daily occurrence victories. Which are embedded in our daily activities and actions. Most people find it difficult to celebrate their small victories. Because they have not conditioned their minds about these victories. Most people attentions are on big victories. One thing most people do not know about small victories is that small victories give birth to big victories. Below are some reasons why most people find it too hard to celebrate their small victories:

1.     Most people expect to achieve big victories at a go or at once: One major problem of most people is that they are expecting to achieve big victories at a go or at once. It is very difficult to achieve big victories at once or at a go. Big victories are processes of achieving small victories which keep compounding after a certain period before manifesting as big victories. 

No one successful person has achieve big victories at a go. Success is the sum of our daily duties done very well. You cannot experience a big success, when you have problem doing your daily duties well. Let us ponder for a while on this statement, ’God must be pursue, the more you chase Him, the more you catch Him’.

By the implication of this statement, success can be catch more when you are chasing it the more. Most people expect to achieve big victories at once. And because of this mentality, they find it too hard to celebrate their small victories.

2.     Nobody expect small victories but big victories: Small victories are part and part of big victories. Big victories does not just happen, they are multiples of compounded small victories or they are multiplications or additions of small victories. You cannot be talking of big victories without small victories. Most people are ignorance of the impacts of small victories in their lives. 

They do not know much about their small victories that is why they focus their mind on big victories. And because of the expectations of the society and how the society go about celebrating their children who have make a name or a mark for themselves. The attention of the society is more on big victories.

So, do the individuals. Nobody is expecting small victories even though they cannot do without small victories. Because of the attention given by even the society to big victories, most people find it too hard to celebrate their small victories.

3.     They do not take pleasure in modest living:  Modest means free from pomp or affectation. It is to be limited in size or scope. Most people have made it a habit to spend their money extravagantly without modesty or moderation. People tend to be extravagant in their spending just to show off. And as well trying to please the flesh. 

Whatever be the case, lack of modesty or moderation is creating more financial problem for people. Immoderation in spending pattern or habit is sure bet to poverty. Because, people tend to spend more than normal or usual. Because of immodest living, people are no longer comfortable with small victories. They do not see small victories as victories.

So, they ignore their small victories. Their small victories cannot help them to maintain their immodest lifestyle. Because of this extravagant habit or lifestyle of people, they find it too, hard to celebrate their small victories.

Extravagant habit does not give room for celebration of small victories. When you are immodest in your living, small victories make no sense. And because, small victories make no sense to them, they see no reason to celebrate such victories.  

4.     Lack of self-contentment/contentment: Contentment is happiness with one’s situation in life. It is the state of being contented or satisfied; content. It means gratification; pleasure; satisfaction.  When discontentment set in people lives, it create more problems to people than usual. Selfishness becomes the other of the day. 

People are no longer happy with their situations in life. They are not satisfy with what they have. Lack of contentment is making people to find it too difficult to celebrate their small victories. Small victories mean nothing to many people because of discontentment.

Until, people form the habit of being contented with what they have that is when, they will start learning to celebrate their small victories. It is often said, that greedy people will always remain poor. Why? Because, they are not always satisfied with what they have. They want more. This act of wanting more, is preventing people from learning to celebrate their small victories. And that is why, most people find it too hard to celebrate their small victories.  

5.     Most people are not aware that success is a daily duty or work or task that is performed or carried out well or in the right way or manner: Success is the sum of our daily duties done very well. But most people are not aware of this. You cannot experience a big success, when you have problem doing your daily duties well. People even choose to evade or escape or dodge or ignore or forget their responsibilities or duties. If success is the sum of daily duties done well, why dodging or neglecting your duties or responsibilities? 

You cannot experience a big success with this habit. Your daily duties done well are small victories on their own. Because most people are not aware that success is a daily duty or task or work that is performed well or in the right way, they hardly celebrate their small victories.

When you know that your success is tied to the performance of your daily duties done well or properly, you will learn to celebrate your small victories when such duties are done properly or rightly. Why most people find it too hard to celebrate their small victories is because of ignorance. They are not aware that their success is the sum of their daily duties done well.

6.     They think that small victories do not count: For most people, small victories does not count based on what they are thinking. If you think that small victories are not victories, then you are wrong. You will end up chasing the wrong things. Small victories count very much. You cannot do without your small victories. You need small victories to gain the big victories. Small victories are stepping stones to big victories. 

But, the problem many people are suffering from is the problem of thinking that small victories do not count. This thinking is preventing or blocking most people from learning to celebrate their small, victories. Most people expect big successes or victories because they are thinking small victories does not count. It is better to expect more of small victories than just having a big victories at a go or at once.

If you are not faithful in small things, how can you be faithful with the big things? It is will be very hard. The more people think that small victories are not victories and they do not count, the more they tend to find it too hard to celebrate their small victories. And the more, they tend not to do their work well or rightly.   

7.     They love to compare themselves with others: Every now and then, many people love comparing themselves with other significant around them. To compare means to consider or describe as similar, equal or analogous. It vie; to assume a likeness or equality. It is to be like or equal; to admit, or be worthy of, comparison. Comparing is the act of examining resemblances or differences. 

When you are comparing yourself to some persons as if you equal to them all round without taking into consideration certain factors, you will be assuming they are not better than you. Anything those other persons do, you assume or believe or accept you can equally do it also. Most of the times, most people love comparing themselves with people who are already more than them.

They do not want to know whether these persons they are comparing themselves with have gone far or achieve more than them. By so, doing, most people tend not to consider their small victories as victories. When you are busy comparing yourself with some other people who are bigger than you (let your mind run wide here), you will always look down on your small victories.  

Using one factor or the other to be comparing yourself to another person is not enough to make you to be doing what others are doing. The habit of comparing oneself to others is one of the thing that is making people to find it too difficult to celebrate their small victories.  

8.     They indulge in false competition: Another mistake most people often fall victim of, is they love competing with friends and other people far and near. Thereby creating false competitions. When you take pleasure in false competitions, every person close to you is a competitor or a contender or a challenger that you are trying to defeat. 

False competition makes you to spend beyond your limit. People tend to spend more, than their income. Because, of this problem they find themselves. What is the problem? The problem is they love competing with other people falsely.

Each time, you try competing with people, you tend to spend more than normal. That is just the case. When you are competing, anything others do, you want to outdo them. The reason why many people are finding it too difficult to celebrate their small victories is that they take pleasure in competing with other people. And in most cases, the people we are competing with have achieve more than us already. But we keep killing ourselves, competing falsely with others.

The imbalance here, is that most of the people we love competing with do not know they are competing with us. Many of them do not even know whether, we even exist. The more people take pleasure competing falsely with some other persons, the more they will find it too difficult to celebrate their small victories. And that is why they cannot celebrate their small victories.

9.     They hardly get satisfaction from small victories: Most people are finding it difficult to get satisfaction from their small victories because, of some problems already discussed such as, they think that small victories do not count, lack of contentment, false competitions, taking pleasure in great luxury and the likes. The hardly people get satisfaction from their small victories, the harder, it become for them to celebrate their small victories. 

Small victories does not satisfy most people cravings and interests and yearnings. But the truth is that, no one can bypass small victories to get to big victories. People must learn to get satisfaction from their small victories to be able to make a head way to get the big victories they are yearning for.

It is your small victories that propel you and pushes you to gain the big victories. Because, most people hardly get satisfaction from their small victories, they tend to find it too hard to celebrate their small victories.                                

10. They admire the lifestyle of others and strive to imitate them: Some people just like or love copying, or imitating what some other people are doing. The imitation of other people style of living is also making many people to find it too difficult to celebrate their small victories. They love doing what other people are doing. They do not even care about the implications of their actions or behaviors. 

They just love what they do. Sometimes, loving what you do can be self-harming like copying or imitating other people lifestyle stupidly. Just because you love it, is not enough for you to be doing what they are doing. Socially, some people just imitate the behaviors or style of living of the other people they are admiring without critically examine these behaviors or styles of living.

It is this wrong imitations of other peoples’ actions or behaviors or styles of living that is making most people to find it too difficult to celebrate their small victories. On daily occasions, most people, keep killing themselves to imitate the lifestyles of others they are admiring and that is why, they find it too hard to celebrate their small victories as such.

11. They love taking pleasure in great luxury: Luxury is something that is an indulgence rather than a necessity. It is the quality possessed by something that is excessively expensive. It is wealthy as evidenced by sumptuous living. The first thing here, is that luxury is not a necessity. Secondly, it is about something that is excessively expensive. And thirdly, it marked by sumptuous living. 

This means that anyone whether rich or average or poor can be incline to take pleasure in great luxury. Luxury is something people can do without. It is not a need per say. The love people have for taking pleasure in great luxury is thriving strongly in their lives. It is this reason that is making people to find it too hard or difficult to celebrate their small victories.

Taking pleasure in great luxury, is so strong that, it will bring you down when you have not done the needful. Some people do not just start taking pleasure in great luxury, they have worked for it and to sustain it, they have paid the price. The question here for pondering or reflection, is have you paid the price.

If you have not, why taking pleasure in great luxury? Small victories means a lot. But the act or habit of taking pleasure in great luxury is blinding more people from seeing the impacts of small victories in their lives. And this is why, more and more people are find it too hard to celebrate their small victories.

12. They hardly get satisfaction from simple daily pleasure: Daily pleasure does not satisfy most people. So, they want something more. When you cannot get satisfaction from simple daily pleasure, the tendency to indulge in gratification or self-gratification is very high. The tendency to do the things you are not supposed to be doing is a sure thing. 

People tend to go after their corrupt passions or desires, when they are not comfortable and happy with their simple daily pleasure or when they hardly get satisfaction from simple daily pleasure. When you find it hard, getting satisfaction from simple daily pleasure, you will equally, find it too hard to celebrate your small victories. Small victories often come with simple daily pleasure. You cannot separate them.

People who celebrate their small victories derived simple daily pleasure from doing their daily duties or works well or rightly or properly. The more they do their works well, the more they get simple daily pleasure which they are satisfied with. Until, people learn to get satisfaction from simple daily pleasure, by doing their daily duties properly, they will always find it too hard to celebrate their small victories.

13. They are busy counting other people blessing: Another basic truth is that, we love counting other people blessings instead of counting our own. When you keep counting other people’s blessings, it seems as if God is not blessing you. If God is blessing you, why busy yourself counting other people’s blessings. 

Selfishness or greediness is the bane of the individual. Because of selfishness or greediness, that is why some other people take pleasure in counting the blessings of others. The more you focus on other people blessing, the difficult it will be for you, in celebrating your small victories.

Actually, some people find it too hard to celebrate their small victories because they are focusing more, on other people blessings rather than counting their own.

14. They focus their 100% attention on big victories: Most times, people focus all their attentions on big victories, rather than on small victories. One thing that is responsible for this, is the ignorance of the impacts of small victories in relations to achieving big victories. People need to focus more in achieving their small victories than focusing just on big victories.

Small victories are more important than just focusing on big victories. Small victories are the strategies of winning big. So, people should learn more to focus their 100% attention on their small victories. 

The more people focus on big victories, the less they even think whether small victories exist. And the more, they find it too hard to celebrate their small victories. People neglect their duties most of the times, because they are busy, focusing on big victories. Big victories are very difficult to achieve if attention is not paid to the small victories.

15. They are not dreaming about small victories: Most people dreamt of achieving big and they keep dreaming of such day in and day out. How can one achieve big without experiencing small victories now and then? It is good to dream big but, it is equally good to dream of small victories. People keep dreaming big and forget about small victories. 

It is better to dream more about small victories than just keep dreaming big. The more you dream about your small victories, and do something about them, the more you catch your big dreams. The reason why, most people are not celebrating their small victories is because, they are not dreaming about small victories but unknowingly to most people what they should be dreaming more about is their small victories.

Without your small victories, you will not be able to experience the big victories. Until, people learn to dream more about their small victories, they will always find it too hard to celebrate their small victories.

The above reasons why most people find it too hard in celebrating their small victories is not good enough not to make you, not to celebrate your small victories. Learn to celebrate your small victories. They count a lot or matter much.
