The Golden State Warriors went 73-9 this NBA season. That is the best NBA season record in history. It's better than any Magic Johnson led Lakers, Larry Bird led Celtics, or even Michael Jordan led Bulls team. They went through the playoffs and had some bumps but eventually got to the NBA finals. However they lost in the Final to the eventual champion Cleveland Cavaliers. Did they have a successful season? Or are they failures? Well that can only be determined by how you look at it. Success is a perception. It's something that we determine in our mind. What might seem like success to some may seem like failure to others. When you lose 2 lbs even though you wanted to lose 5 lbs remember that is a success. If you lift 225 lbs in the bench press instead of 240 but you went up 10 lbs, that still is a success. Your mind is the only one saying you're not successful. Appreciate the small accomplishments. 

Moral of the Story:

Even if you don't accomplish your big goal take a look at all the little ones you did accomplish. Yes you may have not have reached the ultimate goal, but in those situations, you must sit down and realize how far you have come.  You're still successful, you're still a winner. In due time your bigger goals will be accomplished but for now appreciate what you have done. Reach for the moon even if you miss you'll land among the stars.
