It's very easy for us to notice the bad things whether they are big or small. We tend to spend too much time focusing in on the bad things yet ignore the good. 

Celebrating the small goals allows us to see and feel the action steps we are making towards a big goal. It builds motivation, momentum and self-esteem. 

Demotivation usually comes because we are unsure of how far we are to our goals. We sometimes blindly believe that the goal is still so far away when it could be just around the corner – something we will never know if we give up. It’s therefore important to make sure you celebrate your small goals along the way.

Let us remember: one book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.
