Have you ever noticed how life sometimes feels like one long to-do list? We’re always chasing big dreams — like buying a house or getting in shape.

And don’t get me wrong, aiming high is awesome. But what about the small stuff along the way? The little wins that keep us going, keep us happy, and make us smile?

Let me tell you about a time I tried to fix the kitchen sink myself. I thought, “How hard could it be?” Well, it was harder than I expected. After a lot of messing around and watching YouTube videos, I finally got it fixed.

When the water ran through without leaking, I gave myself a fist bump. It felt amazing and made me feel ready for other challenges — big or small.

That’s the power of celebrating small wins. They give us that extra push when the big stuff feels impossible.

Why Small Wins Matter

Small wins are like fuel for your motivation. They might not be huge, but they keep you moving. When we notice these little victories, our brains give us a nice boost of dopamine. It’s like your brain saying, “Hey, you’re doing great!” And sometimes, that’s exactly what we need to hear.
