I’m proud of you because you tossed aside your fears. You did this because it was something you wanted to accomplish. It’s not a terrible characteristic to have, but it often leads to forgetting to do things for yourself, too.
If you’re like me, you tend to put others before yourself, wanting to make sure everyone else is well off before making sure that you are. I’m proud of you because you did this for you. In doing so, you proved every single person wrong, defying the odds. There are so many times in life when we hear “You can’t do that” or “That’ll never happen.” I can almost guarantee that you heard that many times throughout this process, but you persisted. I’m proud of you because you defied the odds. You persevered through the hard times and made it out the other end. Instead of listening to that voice, you powered through it. It limits you and makes you feel like you’re not good enough. It’s so tempting to listen to that little voice in your head that tells you, you can’t do it. I’m proud of you because you didn’t give up. You set your sights and followed through, and that’s something to be proud of.
You may write it off as just doing your job or being yourself, but it’s so much more than that. Maybe you don’t realize it, but you put a lot of time, effort and dedication to get where you are. I know that just saying I’m proud may not be enough, so here are some reasons why I’m so proud of you (I mean it): I’m proud of you because you worked hard.
I’m so proud of you for reaching your goals-big and small-and enjoying this moment. So, here I am telling whoever needs it that I’m proud of you. Their moment of pride is ruined by a rush of disappointment, and that’s just not fair. They don’t get acknowledged for their work. They don’t get a “good job.” They don’t get a big hug. Some people take a deep breath, soak in all they have accomplished, flash a big smile, look around and see no one. In those rare moments that we look around and see how far we’ve come, it’s great to be encouraged by others, whether it be with words, a high five or a pat on the back. Sometimes, life gets crazy and we all get so wrapped up in what we’re doing, that we don’t take a moment to step back and see what we have accomplished.
