I'm Proud Of Myself

I'm Proud Of Myself

I'm proud of getting out of my "go nowhere" neighborhood and making something of myself. I'm proud of what I accomplished in business. Not only did I make my companies a lot of money, I'm also very proud of the positive impact I've had on the people I worked with.

I'm proud that I love life so much that I took many chances in life some of which worked out and some of which that didn't. The main point is that even in defeat, I kept being positive and plowing ahead. I'm proud that I had the guts to marry my third wife. Thirty years later, she is still the love of my life.

I'm proud of staying productive in my retirement. I didn't just lie around or play golf; I used my brain and my creativity to publish four books (the fifth, "Happiness The Forgotten Ingredient - Book 2" is coming out at the end of this year). I'm proud of my almost three hundred blogs that are being read in eleven countries. I sometimes reread those blogs and think how proud I am that I was able to create something that has enriched some people's lives. They've certainly enriched my life.

I'm proud that I've given my time to the people I mentor. Seeing them get through some of the things that were holding them back is very rewarding. Seeing them create a happier life for themselves is even more rewarding. I'm proud of the friendships I've made and the respect they have given me.

Most of all, I'm proud that I love myself. I love that I'm a good person. I'm proud that I try my best to always do the right thing. I'm proud that I don't lie. I'm proud that I don't cheat. I'm proud that I have positive energy inside me. I'm proud that I cherish my happiness.


Are you proud of yourself? Do you even take the time to think about or better yet write down all the things you should be proud of. It's easy to remember all your failures. It's easy to think about all the things that are wrong with your life. It's easy to absorb negative energy from others.

However, if you take a step back and truly look at your life, it will be just as easy to be:
