In our everyday life, we should always congratulate ourselves before the victory even happens.
It sound strange right? actually its one of the most powerful confidence tools one can use.

When you celebrate yourself in advance some may thinks it's faking of success, no, you’re not faking success, you’re actually programming your brain to be where you want it to be.
At this stage, you’re telling your mind, “This is already mine.” And your brain is eager to stay consistent with what so ever it believes, and then begins to act accordingly to how you programmed your brain. With a twinkle of the eye you will see yourself walk taller, think clearer, and make decisions that align with the winner you have already decided to become.
We were taught that the patience dog eats the fattest bone, well, I don't think that's is applicable to being successful, because you can't wait for the promotion, the medal, the recognition you go for it no matter the cost. Winners do know and practice something different which is the energy you bring before the victory often determines the result. Pre-celebration rewires your brain making it focus from fear to faith, from doubt to determination. You stop hoping and conplaining rather you start expecting.
Before you walk into an interview, first imagine shaking hands as if you already gotten the job, and also before you launch your project of yours picture yourself celebrating the results.
Finally before before you take the stage, hear the applause in your head.
This is that direction, not just delusion. You are building your subconscious mind to achieve your those success you have not even started working on it.. Therefore, begin congratulating yourself now. Your actions follow your thoughts, so celebrate your future success as though it were inevitable. You do not find victory by accident. One self assured thought at a time gradually you create it. Don't feel too proud of yourself after crossing the finish line.
