What are your accomplishments? What obstacles did you overcome? Here's why recording your wins and losses builds confidence and hope. I'll even show you how to record your accomplishments with a technique that helped me succeed in my career.
"Once you’re making consistent and disciplined progress on small things that reflect your larger values, your identity evolves. You begin to see yourself as someone with discipline; someone willing and able to do hard things in the moment to obtain meaningful rewards in the future. It’s on this foundation that you will find yourself better able to stick with grander forward-looking goals.
Tracking daily metrics, in other words, is like a training regime for your will."
I can't say I considered before that small wins can lead to seeing "yourself as someone with discipline." That's a fascinating view. Thanks for sharing, Chris!

Happy new year Alvin! Based on @Janahan's advice, I started a brag doc. Now, I have a good reason to track the lows and learn from them too :)
Thanks, Sairam. That's good to hear! Happy new year!
