Nothing is more satisfying than rewarding ourselves for the effort that we have put in achieving something we long or desire.

For most of us we work like a dog, we have exerted so much effort in our everyday life as a worker. We simply do this because we want nothing but a convenient or a prosperous life. Some of us work beyond the regular hours, some of us have two or three jobs simultaneously, and some of us barely have days off.

Most of us are not born with a silver spoon, so it is common that we never let the opportunity of earning slip away. That is how we commoner live our lives. There is nothing wrong with working hard though, most especially if the result is something that could help us grow professionally and financially. In that way, we have proven our strength and capacity more than enough.

The idea of rewarding ourselves is just so right. We work hard so we deserve to reward ourselves with something that we want and can make us feel happy. It may be material things like buying an expensive smart device, taking a grand holiday, dining in a fancy restaurant, watching a 3D movie in theater, and the like.

It feels so great when we reward ourselves as it is externally expressing that we care about ourselves like we do care about our loved ones. Taking care of our very own selves should never be taken for granted. Maybe some of us prioritize other members of the family most especially to parents, because it is the just the right thing to do as being the head and the light of the family. That is one commendable deed and that every parent should do.

However, let us spare some time to also value our effort and the sacrifice that we do everyday in working hard. Giving ourselves a reward, may it be little or big, is necessary for us to keep motivated in life.

As aforementioned, the act of rewarding is the act of giving importance to our own selves. Giving importance to ourselves is needed for us to continue living with motivation and aspiration.

Never should we forget in rewarding ourselves, we deserve it!
