In a world of 7 billion people, it is easy to feel lost.
There are other people, that 7 billion something, that have lives as detailed as yours.
With that many faces, how would you expect your face with that stubbed nose and chubby cheeks be as memorable as a face of a nation's leader?
There will be times when you go on facebook or tumblr or simply when you are talking to a friend that you will find yourself comparing your life to theirs and find that maybe your life is not as interesting enough, is not as fulfilled or even not living your life as much as theirs.
When these happen and you are looking for solace, try to grasp this:
Not all victories are about saving the universe.
Rory Williams maybe a fictional character in a fictional universe talking to a fictional hero but his words still ring true.
When you feel proud of yourself for getting out of bed this morning,
When you feel proud for not eating that 4th slice of cake,
When you feel proud for not crying after a movie,
When you feel awesome after finishing 2nd in a race although you were not feeling well,
When your friend just told you how much you mean to them,
When your souffles come out perfect,
When you wake up 10 minutes before the alarm,
When you dashed halfway through and still make it to the office without getting late,
When your daughter calls you Mum or Dad,
When you hear your mother telling how proud she is of you for graduating to her friends,
When you finished BBC Sherlock in a day.
Little victories are so underrated and I think it is time to bring this back.
Be proud and stand tall for anything possible,
Indulge in those little victories and smile more!
