CELEBRATION - ZOMBIE STYLE

I know, I know, this is a zombie inspiration site, and the title of this post is Celebration - Zombie Style, and zombie zombie zombie, and yet there is a picture of ninjas ... but trust me, there is a reason for it. 
It all makes sense.
As Grandmaster Sensei says, 'So butterflies do not eat toast.'
Get it?
Good.
So let's go.

See, the thing is, you have to celebrate your achievements. I've talked a lot on here about setting goals, and not giving up, and trying hard, and eating brains, and that's all well and good and awesome and gross, but what about once you reach your goals?
What then?
I mean, I then set new goals and start going after them, but life can't just be all set goal go for goal get goal rinse and repeat!
There has to be a little fun in there too!
Zombies know this! When they set a goal of chasing someone down so they can eat their brains and suck their nose-hairs out to use as a toothpick (admittedly a very bad toothpick, but I never said zombies were inspirationally smart), they celebrate! They celebrate by roaring and grunting and groaning and eating that brain like it's the last brain they will ever eat.
You have to celebrate the little things.
Along the way to your goal, celebrate the little milestones.
Trying to run 10km?  Celebrate the first time you get out of bed rather than rolling over because it's too cold. If you can only run 500m at the start, celebrate running a kilometre! Celebrate the first time you run 5km. Celebrate the first time you go for a run and don't end up lying on the ground crying because your legs are sore!
So I have just released a brand new book, Ninja Inspiration, and I am usually pretty bad at celebrating these things, so today that is all going to change. Because ninjas are good at celebrating too! Yep, after they have assassinated someone using only the broken wick of a strawberry-scented candle, ninjas celbrate by very quietly sipping a cup of tea and washing their hair.
True story!
You have to celebrate the little things.
And the big things,
Basically, if you set your mind to something and you achieve it, or you improve greatly on the way to it, or you simply have been trying really, really hard towards a goal ... celebrate. Take some time out to let yourself know you are doing a great job, and that you are awesome, and that you are in the top 1% of the world for awesomeness!
Celebrate.
​You deserve it.
Okay, I'm outta here. Have to go and quietly sip a cup of tea and wash my hair ...
