“The object of presenting medals,
— Winston Churchill
stars, and ribbons is to give pride
and pleasure to those
who have deserved them.”
“I don’t regret the painful times;
— Paulo Coelho
I bare my scars as if they were medals.”
“’Born this Way’
— Lady Gaga
is about being yourself,
and loving who you are
and being proud.”
This week’s MotW encourages us to learn how to be proud of our accomplishments and just as importantly to be proud of ourselves…for the big stuff and especially for the little things. It’s about allowing ourselves to feel good about who we are and what we do, which comes from a place of confidence and self-love; while being prideful generally comes from a place of insecurity and ego.
So this week take the time to appreciate what about us we are most proud and literally or figuratively give ourselves a medal…or at the very least a high five. 🙌🏻❤️
“I am proud of you.”
