Celebrating Your Achievements

I would say that there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. That fine line is called humility. However, the two words should not be confused with.



I'm one of those people who doesn't really share their achievements very much as I'm wary of coming across as arrogant and blowing my own trumpet. I'm all for celebrating everybody else's success bar my own, which is not on.

I kind of congratulate myself behind the screen by giving myself a high five and reward my accomplishment with a glass of rose or vodka and cranberry juice, as you do.



One achievement I shared with recently on Instagram was one I was sceptical of sharing due to this current moment in time. With everything feeling so negative right now, I felt like it would cause bad feeling sharing something which seems menial to others. However, it meant so much to me.



What's that? The achievement? Ah yes! Two of my blog posts got published in blogging's newest magazine, House 21! It was such a proud moment to see my work in print and it feels so good to see the hard work finally paying off! Thankfully, the post I shared on Insta received praise and congrats and the relief and happiness I felt afterwards was unreal.

This achievement may seem so small to some, but it's huge and gratifying for me. An achievement somebody has gained may seem small and insignificant to you, but it's a big deal to them. Never undermine people's achievements. They don't just have be things like buying a house, getting a new job or writing a book. Achievements can also be on the lines of reaching 2,000 followers on Instagram (which I did recently) or getting the conundrum right on Countdown. Just saying, I got one right the other day within seconds and I thought I was the bee knees.



Celebrating yourself and your accomplishments should be a big part of your life, something which I've finally learnt to do now. It's ok to be happy with what you have achieved. We all have our own success stories, why not celebrate them with yourself and others?



One thing that I am doing is that I'm learning to now appreciate how far I've come, however slow paced it has been. I've come a long way in my life in the last 5 years and I could not be prouder of the position I am in today. Mentally and physically. To me, that's one of my biggest achievements.

Let me know if you have achieved any of your goals lately?! Let's celebrate them!
