Prevention is one of the few victories that often leaves no story to tell.

Prevented disasters produce no anecdotes. Nobody tells the story of the fire that did not start or the illness that was caught early enough to be dull, so this kind of success is never celebrated and rarely even recognised by the person responsible. The reward has to be internal because there is nothing external to collect.

Keep your own quiet record of what you prevented. It is the only acknowledgement available and it is enough to keep the habit alive.
