The Challenge – Remember The Moment of Triumph

The Challenge:

Achieving our goals takes time, patience and commitment. The larger the goal the longer it takes to feel like we’re making progress. Remember a moment in your life that you were triumphant. Take 15-minutes and remember yourself at that moment and write about the experience in your notebook.

This task is worth 25-points on your scorecards.

Thought Provoking Questions:

What made this moment so triumphant?

What did you sacrifice to attain this moment of success?

The Lesson:

Staying committed to a goal can be difficult, especially when the end seems so far away.  Remembering a time where you stayed committed and were rewarded will help you stay on course with your present goals.  Many triumphant moments also come with some degree of sacrifice like money, time or even physical pain.  The journey to achieve the success is what makes these moments of triumph so memorable. The longer the struggle the more rewarding the payoff will be.

That being said, it is important to take a moment to celebrate how far you have come, even if you have not achieved the success just yet.  Realize that each step towards attaining your goal is a step in the right direction.  Much like the “reward days” in this game, you should identify key points on your journey in which to reward yourself.
