Recognition. Awards. Acceptance. Everyone loves to win. It's a point in life when it all seems to come together.
Companies spend thousands each year in fees and preparation of entries. Folks salivate at even the thought of that little statue, that piece of paper carefully framed and hung on the wall... those footprints in the sidewalk of fame. Having one means everyone else in the world lusts to be you. You become bigger than you. You become a star.
So, okay. We all can't be stars. If we were, the world would just be too bright, wouldn't it? But that's no reason we all can't celebrate a teeny-tiny bit. The next time you do something that you're especially proud of, give yourself the "Bitchin! Award". Throw your hands in the air and give out a whoop, then get out the kazoo and triumphantly play a bit of John Phillip Sousa. Break out the bubbly water and do a jig around a two-foot square. You deserve it.
Now, even a salami and cheese with dill pickles on rye bread sandwich with mustard and mayo (hold the lettuce) can be an award winner. That phone call you just made? Excellent. The way you poured coffee and didn't spill it? Remarkable. Just getting up some mornings? Absolutely bitchin!
Do this twice a day and you'll soon find other people in awe of the you that is you.
