We can choose to celebrate our success or contemplate why we are failing. Perhaps a healthy balance is key.   Frustration and negative thoughts can get the best of us at times, however a common factor in fearless people is they change from contemplating defeat to celebrating their wins.   Why is celebrating wins important? Too much negative thinking can sap our energy and weaken our state of mind. By reminding ourselves of the great work we have done in the past we allow ourselves to move forward with confidence.
