It's one of those days when I look at myself in the mirror & think 'you know what? I'm actually pretty awesome'. I'm about to complete a double degree with five majors (yes I am a crazy person) and pretty soon I'll actually be qualified to operate in most major areas of finance & economics. I've lost roughly 10kg of fat in the last year & a bit and I'm damn happy with how I look. I've become a great cook and I've made huge steps to overcome my previously crippling shyness. I've even worked in retail, something I would have never been able to do in my previous state of mind. When I think of how far I've come I can't help but feel proud.
It's so important to look back & focus on & be proud of your wins rather than constantly look for a new problem or fault in yourself. I often make the mistake of shrugging off my past successes & dwelling too much on the tiny little things wrong with my life. While it may be considered 'modesty' to do so it's in fact not a great way to think. Never be afraid to be proud of yourself, you've put in the effort & you deserve the rewards of your hard work. You can always strive towards a new goal but don't forget what you've already achieved.
