Are you proud of yourself?

Right now, try to ask yourself that question. Try to reflect on the first answer that you have in mind. Try to internalize if you are proud of yourself and what you've become then pause for a moment.

Perhaps, we seldom think of this question. We may seldom congrats ourselves for what we have become. One factor that affects us is the thought that we tend to compare.

Sometimes, we are so busy checking the cups of other people that we tend to get distracted and focus on our own cup. We never realized that out cup is overflowing since we are busy looking out at others' cups. That's a sad thought, but it's true. I guess it's inevitable for us humans to go through. Instead of focusing on our own blessings, we tend to overlook our blessingas and check on the blessings that other people have received. Instead of making progress for ourselves, we tend to compete with other people's journey and wish to surpass them in someway.

Moreover, this thought or even practice would never give something positive in our lives. It will only harm our progress. It will ruin the plans that we have been aiming to achieve ever since. It will make us feel down and in the end, we question if we could still make it. We even tend to not mind the things that we have achieved in our lives.

Focus

Learn the art of focusing on your journey, not on the journey of others. Be proud of every step that you take; even how big or small they are, congratulate yourself. Be proud of what you have received instead of mocking yourself for not being able to reach what you wanted to achieve.

"Don't wait until you make it for you to say that you're proud of yourself."

The little things or small achievements that you have done in life deserve to be celebrated.

"Be proud that you finally cleaned the area that you've been aiming to clean since last week."

"Be proud of yourself that you become productive than usual."

"Be proud that you finally decided to share your thoughts in your workplace."

"Be proud that you decided to face your fear."

"Be proud that you slept early yesterday."

"Be proud that you finally start your workout."

Every little thing that you have done in life means so much. They are not just a random thing that we must take for granted. They are the little things that will create a big thing in our lives. Be proud of these things.

Cheers!

One day, when you try to be better by focusing only on your progress and not on the progress of others, it will make a difference; a huge difference that you never expected to happen.

Love Yourself

Learn to love yourself. Don't be too hard on your journey. You deserve to be happy. If you keep on adding pressure to yourself, it will end up making you feel suffocated. Instead of wanting for you to achieve more in life, it will only push you down.

Through self-love you will be able to understand, that you don't need to be like them or like this to be better. You are worthy of everything. You deserve more in life, jist learn to erase the stain of comparing lurking in your mind. Always tell yourself that you are worthy and you are proud of what you've become. Never make yourself down.

Be Patient

I know how eager you are to achieve your goals. I know how eager you are to be someone you've always wanted yourself to become. I know that you've been longing to reach all the desires of your heart. But as you're still on your journey towards it, be patient. Don't hasten the journey, embrace it. Time will come that you'll reach them all.

Also, learn to te yourself these words everyday:

"I am proud of you self. I am proud of you now, and what you will become in the future. No matter what happens, I am so proud of you."

Every hour of every day, tell yourself that your proud of him or her. Celebrate your small achievements. Love yourself. Always bear these thoughts in mind.

One day, this little thing would pave something positive in your life.


Be proud of yourself, always.

We each have our share and that's what we have to look for to achieve it, every life there must be a difference but believe in yourself to achieve it, successful people are always trying and working hard.

El primer Amor es el Dios luego el de nosotros, debemos de amarnos y confiar en nosotros mismos, algunas veces estamos pendiente de las demás personas y dejamos a un lado nuestro Ser interior.
