It is important to celebrate our victories, but we cannot linger on them. For the Infinite Game is still going and there is still much work to be done.

You are doing something worthy of celebration This is the most important answer because recognizing that you are doing something worthy of celebration will change so much for you. Your ability to ignore self-criticism and embrace feeling good about your successes will ripple out into your life in positive ways that go far beyond the habits you create and celebrate.

What’s the point of massive achievement if your life has no balance? And what’s the point of winning the game if you never take the time to celebrate and appreciate the life you have? There’s nothing worse than a rich person who’s chronically angry or unhappy.

Celebrating small wins gives them something to repattern our life around.

Weapons are inauspicious instruments, not the tools of the enlightened. When there is no choice but to use them, it is best to be calm and free from greed, and not celebrate victory. Those who celebrate victory are bloodthirsty, and the bloodthirsty cannot have their way with the world.

"Victory is for those who can say "Victory is mine". Success is for those who can begin saying "I will succeed" and say "I have succeeded" in the end."

Pause to celebrate your success and accomplishments of hard work so you can find happiness along the journey as well. Don’t be so concerned about the end goal that you don’t enjoy all the little wonderful achievements on your way to the ultimate win.

throw entire festivals in your name. invite no one but yourself. let there be choirs, let there be lanterns, let there be games, let there be cake, let there be laughter, let there be fireworks. some people make the mistake of spending their lives waiting for other people to celebrate their victories, so they never end up celebrating them at all. don’t wait for anyone to decide that you’re enough. you’ve endured every minute up until now — isn’t that just remarkable?- isn’t it?

Don’t be jealous when the people you like do well — celebrate their victory as if it’s your own.

People who experience a victory early on are more likely to continue with something than those who do not.

If you believe in victory, then victory will believe in you.

No matter how hard the loss, defeat might serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.

When the inevitable setback, loss, failure, or defeat comes crashing down on you — losing a big sale, being passed over for a career-making promotion, even getting fired — allow yourself the “grieving time,” but then recognize that the road to recovery and victory lies in having the strength to get up off the mat and start planning your next move. This is how you must think if you want to win. Otherwise you have lost.

When you celebrate effectively, you tap into the reward circuitry of your brain. By feeling good at the right moment, you cause your brain to recognize and encode the sequence of behaviors you just performed.
