Take time to celebrate your friend’s achievements. Sometimes we get so busy with life, we don’t take time to celebrate as we go along.

Recently, a friend finished a writing course she has been working on for two years. She called me up tonight and said, “I want to celebrate finishing this course. You’ve supported and encouraged me all along the way. My family and I and another friend are going to get together tonight and we’d love to have you come!”

I had a lot to do but decided to take time out to recognize this milestone with her. She ordered a variety of Thai food to take home and we had a mini buffet! We enjoyed the tasty food and toasted her achievement. So proud of her!

This is good! We need to take time to recognize, support and encourage each other’s progress. Think about ways you can celebrate even little achievements as well as the bigger ones normally celebrated.

Take time to celebrate you own, your families’ and friends accomplishments. This motivates us to grow the next level and be all that we can be!

“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another…” Hebrews 10:25 (NIV)

How can you take the time to celebrate your families achievements? What has been your experience?
