Are you proud of yourself?

Are you proud of yourself and everything you've accomplished in life so far?

 

Yes. I am very proud of the things that I have accomplished thus far, but I am not entirely satisfied, and want to go further.

 

If I awake in the morning I have accomplished much. If I lay my head down at night I have failed at nothing.

 

I'm pretty content with myself and what I've accomplished so far in my life, however, I have more goals to meet. Especially with my online community, I want to hit 200k posts and 5k members. Currently, we have 186,928 posts and 4,845 members.

 

Definitely not where I imagined I'd be at 30. I wouldn't say I'm proud of myself, but I'm not ashamed either. I think I'm a basically a good person, could probably be better towards some people.

What makes people proud of themselves? I guess it's usually either achievements or money, or maybe a hot wife. I have none of these.

 

I'm proud of myself for not being afraid to make mistakes in life, am not afraid to achieve certain goals, and I try to achieve goals even when I am afraid to do so.

 

Yes, I am!
It is the best way to stay motivated, according to me. When you feel proud about what you've done, what you're doing, it adds another sense of achievement to your life.
I consulted a life coach regarding the same, who agreed that, the more people feel good about what they've accomplished, the more fulfilling tomorrow is waiting for them!

 

Prior to graduating from high school, I didn't foresee that I would be 26 years old - my currrent age - and not be a teacher. I had it all planned out. I was going to graduate from college at the age of 22 and matriculate into graduate school for a masters, and subsequently a PhD but it didn't quite work out that way - life happened.

I am still in the midst of earning of Bachelor of Science degree while struggling to pay for tuition. I now work from home, which I had never dreamed of and didn't know that I would grow to love it! I CAN say that I am proud of surmounting adversity and the many obstacles that were bestowed before me. I didn't let it break my spirit. With patience and time, I will be able to fulfill my dreams.

 

I am proud of myself so far in my life. There are things that I wished were done better but I don't fret on it too much.

 

I am very proud of what I have accomplished in the past week. I started a diet, which I managed to stick to, and I have started playing football again, training with two football teams. I have lost 12lbs this past week, that is almost a stone.

 

Pretty proud of my character, standards and opinions. Not so proud with my work/studying habits, but I am trying to change that. But I still have a long way to go, I'm pretty young, and at 18 years old, I believe I am better than an average 18 years old.

 

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life and I don't regret a damn thing. Everything was a learning lesson to me.

 

Unfortunately, you can't learn all of life's lessons the easy way. Sometimes you learn the hard way. Some people are too afraid to make mistakes. But, in reality, it's OK to make mistakes because it's not like you have a crystal ball.

 

I learned the hard way that screwing around on probation is never the way to go. Especially since I served jail time for it.

 

I'm proud of the fact that I've done a lot of volunteer work over the years. Me doing so has helped society, and it's been a learning experience for me.

 

No I'm not. I still have a lot of work to do, but I'm proud of what I got now. It just took me too long to get to this point, because I didn't have the right work ethic when I was a little bit younger.

 

I'm one of those people who is never satisfied and always looking to do better. It's a right pain but at 54 years old I doubt I'm going to change any time soon.

 

Proud? Hmm...yeah. Not overly exuberant, but I can be proud of being a good person, raising a smart and good son, being married to my wife for 24 years and holding a single job for 22 years and running a side business helping 1000's of people run online communities for 13 years.

Still, I am not completely satisfied and I want to be creative and self-sufficient and do only what I love to do. I am working on that as we speak.
