This is an incredibly valuable article. First, it’s a terrific example in Bill Walsh. Second, the additions you put onto the end of this - yes! I like the celebrate wins aspect. Me, you, no one I know does this near as much as we should. I think society has taught us that if we celebrate daily wins, it’s either arrogant OR makes us complacent. When neither has to be true. The reality for me is recognizing daily wins is actually critical for one’s health.
Fantastic piece, Chris!! This hits a nerve as a type A perfectionistic who has chronically defined my self-worth by my achievements. You’re so right — we can’t always win, and failure doesn’t make us less worthy or diminish the things we do well. The advice you’ve offered here is incredibly valuable and insightful. Celebrating our wins is an underrated but powerful tip. I started noting down all my favourite lines and was pretty much quoting the whole piece 😆
