The "Keep It 100 Success Challenge" came about after I read The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Jack Canfield. If you keep up with LATH on social media then you've probably heard me talk about it or share some good quotes from the book because it was the March Book Chat book of the month. In Principal 26 Jack talked about "Acknowledge Your Positive Past." Often we are so laser focused on what we want to accomplish in the future that we overlook how far we've come. Jack encouraged readers to make a list of 100 successes they've had in their life. I immediately decided to make my own list. I encourage you to join me in the "Keep 100 Success Challenge" by making your own list of 100 successes you've had in your life, from big to small be sure to include them all. Below you will find my list! I also talk about my experience with making my list on the latest "7 Minute Sunday" podcast episode below.
