Small victories are the path to major breakthroughs

We have all heard the statement, "You may have won the battle, but you haven't won the war!" Indicating there is still more fighting ahead of you. Though that may be accurate when said, I find that the key to winning the war is through accumulating victories in battle. (I realize there have been times in history when that wasn't the case. So put your history textbook back on the shelf. My point is that most wars are won by accumulating victories in battle). The more battles won, the better then chance you have in winning the war.

I believe the same strategy applies to the obstacles of life. Rarely, will we jump from defeat to victory. The progression that has a lasting impact is one adjustment here, another there and eventually what once shackled you is so far down the road you barely recognize it.

The key to this is identifying the little victories you experience along the way. Those moment when your former self would have acted in a completely different (and much more damaging) way.

By recognizing small victories you...
1. Create needed momentum to blast through difficult barriers.
2. Instill confidence to fight back in the event of a counter-attack
(I beat you once and I can do it again).
3. Remind yourself that you are not done growing.

If you want to experience major life breakthroughs, the ticket isn't a hail-mary, the difference is taking the necessary "small" steps that promote the long-term results and using "small" victories as a catalyst in your pursuit of a changed life.
