You know what, sometimes you have to give yourself a pat on the back. Whether it's often, every single day or every now and then, just give yourself a pat and say "good job."
Nobody Else Will Do It
Sometimes nobody else is going to give you a congrats, a good job or a high five. . . You know what I'm saying. You can have a major goal in mind and when you reach milestones, you might not receive any kind of "good job" from anyone. Fuck it, give yourself a "good job" because you know what you're trying to accomplish and you know how important it is to reach those smaller goals.
Ignore Haters
Yup, do this too. Ignore haters, doubters and anyone else who shits on your dreams, goals and small goals you accomplish. I don't care what you're trying to do in life, just work hard to get there and celebrate your small milestones because I know how cool it feels when you do.
Good luck. Work hard. And keep at whatever you're trying to do.
