*Redefining Awards: From Hesitation to Celebration* There was a time when receiving awards made me hesitant. Sharing them felt like self-promotion, as if I were seeking validation. I would downplay them, thinking, *"Do I really need to showcase this?"* But with time, age, and experience, my perspective has evolved. I now see awards for what they truly represent: not individual glory, but a celebration of collective effort. They honor the artisans whose hands bring my ideas to life, the heritage of Dhokra craft that we work so hard to preserve, and the team that makes it all possible. Awards are more than recognition—they’re a way to inspire others and amplify the work being done. By sharing these milestones, I’m not saying, *"Look at what I’ve achieved."* I’m saying, *"Look at what’s possible."* Today, I accept awards with pride—not for myself alone, but for the community and craft that they represent. And yes, I share them, unapologetically. It’s a ripple worth creating.

You may have a seen a post I shared a few weeks ago receiving an award and wondering why it took me a year to celebrate that win publicly (this photo is from that same event). Upon reflection, I've realized that my hesitance to celebrate is part of a larger pattern. I have never stopped to really celebrate my wins.  I am guilty of constantly moving on to the next thing dismissing past achievements as if they were mere steps on an endless escalator. The win, once it's in the rearview mirror, somehow loses its sheen because it's "in the past." I cannot be the only one who is like this.  Am I?  Help me out here.  But I am coming to understand that celebrating our achievements isn't about living in the past; it's about recognizing the journey and the growth that comes with each milestone. Many of us, myself included, are wired to look forward, to chase the horizon. There's always a new goal, a new challenge. And while that drive is valuable, it's equally important to pause, look back, and honour how far we've come. Our wins, big or small, are not just trophies to collect but reminders of our resilience, hard work, and the support we've had along the way. Even in writing this I know I will still find it challenging to do, so, I'm making a commitment to not only chase the future but to also honour the present and respect the past. I endeavour to celebrate my wins, to savour the moments of success, and to appreciate the journey because the future is never guaranteed. Will you join me in this practice if you have battled this same malady?

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore is not an act but a habit."- Aristotle🌟🏆 At WPRS, we are firm believers in celebrating our team's victories and acknowledging their hard work. Recently, we introduced a victory bell to be rung whenever a big win is achieved! 🔔 To cherish these moments, we jot them down in our Worthington yellow book to remember these wins along our journey! How do you celebrate your wins? Comment below!

Have you ever so focused on the one project that isn’t going well? It feels like a mountain, right? Alongside, you have other small projects thriving, clients praising your work, and a growing network of supporters. But you are still not making a step. I have learned that It’s easy to get caught up in what’s not working. How instresting it would get if we shift our focus. Instead of dwelling on the challenges, let’s celebrate our wins for the year, no matter how small. Every step forward, every lesson learned, every positive interaction, these are the building blocks of success. When we recongnize and appreciate our achievements, we fuel our motivation and propel ourselves towards our goals. Let's refocus together. What are you celebrating this year? Share your wins in the comments below!

Ask any sales or marketing professional… Launching new products and building new territories is not easy. Over a year ago my husband, Dean Peaple , joined this company to launch a new division of window coverings. Through operations and production challenges, changes in leadership and the minimal marketing support common with ‘startups’ - my husband never gave up! I have watched him be tenacious and creative, using common sense, guerilla tactics, and teamwork- always finding a way. I know the road is long, - and I admire my husbands patience and perseverance. When you work hard and see a reward with a Win like this- you have to celebrate! Most of us are so busy doing the work we do- we forget to take time to celebrate the wins. It’s as easy as 123… 1. Take a moment to reflect on your wins 2. Be proud of your accomplishments, 3. Share your gratitude with those that helped you achieve your goals. Celebrate the Wins!
