We’ve all been through some difficult times this past few months and I’m not going to lie by telling you it was easy, it was there were nights we had to cry ourselves to sleep because the strength to keep moving wasn’t just there. We have our ups and down days, our high and low moment.

A lot is times, we are so expectant and shoved by pressures of our expectations and that of others that we forget to give ourselves a tap on the back and say well done.

We need to stop once in a while to rejuvenate and encourage ourselves. You might be thinking what is there to celebrate or be proud of yourself for, that’s a big lie that your mind is trying to make you believe.

There are a hundred and a million reasons why you should be proud of yourself, your journey in life in general and your progress as a human being. You’ve survived the unexpected (covid19) that’s enough.

Let me also add that being proud of yourself is just another way of knowing that you have a strong sense of self-worth.

And it’s been concluded that people who are proud of themselves have a great passion for life, they are contented and grateful and are a source of good motivation for others.

Some reasons why you should be proud of yourself and your accomplishments.

1. You keep coming out strong

The fact that you keep moving regardless of what the world throws at you is enough reason to be proud of yourself.

You have been able to survive everything life throws at you. life isn’t a bed of roses neither is it rainbow and butterflies.

80% of us have been in a position when you’ve questioned how we would get through certain issues. But if you start tracing your journey back you would realize that you are making progress in life. And this enough is a reason to be proud of yourself.

2. You’ve learnt and grown from your mistakes.

Your mistakes show a lot about your growth and progression in life. We all hate making mistakes and failing but as annoying as this may be, our mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow to become a better version of ourselves.

You’ve learnt along the way and the fact that you have done that and are trying not to repeat the same mistakes as you grow is enough for you to be proud of yourself.

3. You are a source of inspiration and joy to someone.

If at one point or the other you’ve been able to put a smile on someone’s face then you are doing something right. And if you’ve also inspired someone to achieve their dreams then you have a reason to be proud of yourself.

4. Your choices

You should be proud of all the choices you’ve made because that’s what has brought you this far both good and bad.

Your bad choices are inevitable, you might have hurt people in the process and all but yet all the choices you’ve made were a stepping stone to who and where you are today, so you can as well be proud of them.

Every time you are down and need a reason to keep moving on in life, remember how far you’ve come and all the life’s you’ve directly and indirectly touched. That you deserve to be loved and respected by you and others.

You are a powerhouse, believe in your greatness and be proud of who you are.
