Feeling proud

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Feeling proud of something you’ve done often requires an accompanying act of defiance.

Feeling proud requires you to be quietly defiant against those who don’t agree—who don’t see your achievement the same way you do.

Feeling proud requires you to be resolutely defiant against the doubting voices in your head querying how much, if at all, you deserve to feel satisfied.

Feeling proud is to be treasured. Pair it with defiance to keep it strong.

Until next time,

Kirsten

  1. Hear,hear! It is that well-earned sweet kernal inside of us that we know we’ll always have. Pride can have negative connotations, but your words, Kirsten, say how it is to be quietly and deservedly proud.
