My understanding of victory has changed a lot over the past few years. I used to think victory had most to do with big accomplishments and milestones. Although accomplishments still fall under the umbrella of victory, they are no longer its only defining moments.
Victory has turned into an every day event, and I have learned that we get to experience as much victory as we can stand. In fact, I believe it would be possible to experience continuous victory if we so choose . . . why not?
So, victory now has more to do with a feeling, an experience of victory. It has become the subjective victory of love and affection, as well as the objective accomplishment. It lives in the mind as much as in the physical world and has an awesome effect on our quality of life. We get to speak it, feel it and share it. We get to witness it in others even if they can’t witness it in themselves.
Allow yourself victory today – and every day. If you can pick up your horn to play, call it victory. If you practice with a sense of inspiration or can make it out of bed to practice at all, call it victory. Make some moment of your experience a victory and then do it again. You might find that you’ve already accomplished the most incredible victory of your life, and from there, I promise, you’ll “accomplish” more than you ever dreamed.
