Pride isn't a Bad Thing

Pride isn't a bad thing

‍

I think we often get caught up in that pride and being proud of ourselves is a bad thing. We are hesitant to really express how we feel and how to celebrate our accomplishments. We get caught up in comparison and not fully expressing how much to celebrate what we have accomplished. We are scared to be prideful because we think by expressing our celebrations that we are being bragatory or arrogant. 

‍

I think that is wrong. Being proud of what you have done and accomplished is not a bad thing. Being proud of where you have been should be celebrated. Your accomplishments are worth something. They may not matter to someone else. But they matter to you, and that’s what really matters. But don’t always just go strutting around thinking you are the best because of a single or handful of proud moments. Remember those moments. Remember how they felt. Remember how they pushed you from a dark place or reminded you what you are capable of. That feeling, the emotion tied to the accomplishment. The pride in the moment is what we should be in the continued pursuit of. We don’t need to always celebrate the moments. But the feelings and what we have overcome are what makes the accomplishment worth celebrating. 

‍

You are worth celebrating, your accomplishments are worth celebrating. Be proud of what you have overcome and accomplished. But don’t be arrogant and think you can rest on what you have done. Keep doing more and seeing what you can do. Be proud of what you have done and what is to come.
