They allow people to use their strengths, talents, and empower them with the freedom to use them. They celebrate people’s successes by recognizing their excellence and the contributions they provide. It’s not just about results; celebrate the effort!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc (VFV) More Awesome Quotes for Today’s Message: “Celebrate what you want to see more of.” — Thomas J. Peters“Take a moment today to simply be. Wherever you are, just breathe. Celebrate how far you’ve come. How much you’ve already achieved. Celebrate your strength. Your resilience. Your compassion. Your grace. Your effort. Stop thinking about all the things you still have to do, without stopping every so often to think about all the things you’ve already done. Celebrate it all . Celebrate you.” — Alysha Waghorn“Celebrate every win. It doesn’t matter how big or small it is. Whether it’s closing on your first home, a new car, a new job, a little raise, better health, or 5 lbs. lost. All wins are worth celebrating, because you’re worth celebrating. Go ahead. Get your celebration on. Man that feels good.” — Joseph Andrus“Make time to celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how big or small.” — Unknown Author“Be the celebrators, celebrate! Already there is too much — the flowers have bloomed, the birds are singing, the sun is there in the sky — celebrate it! You are breathing and you are alive and have consciousness, celebrate it!” — Osho “Celebrate life — in every moment, every mood no matter what you’re going through — joy or pain, success or struggle — remember, life itself is a gift. Not every day will be perfect. Some days will test you, others will bless you. But every day teaches you. Celebrate the small wins. Dance in the rain. Smile through the chaos. Laugh even when things don’t go as planned. Because one day, you’ll look back and realize that it was all part of the beautiful journey. Choose to celebrate life – not just when it’s easy, but especially when it’s hard. You’re alive. That’s your biggest power. Make it count!” — Unknown Author“Life is too short not to celebrate nice moments!” — Jurgen Klopp“Everyone Matters, Talk to Us!" — Army Veteran Mikel BurroughsVictory for Veterans, Inc.
