Give yourselves credit

Our accomplishments are valuable despite how many other people have achieved the same thing. No matter how simple and common your accomplishment may seem, I can almost guarantee you there is someone in this world that wasn’t able to, and won’t ever be able to get to that point. I think its fantastic to always want to do better, and be better, but let’s not fall into the trap of thinking of ourselves as average unless we do something grand and rare.

How many of us thought graduating HS was no big deal? Well look up how many kids drop out and give yourself a pat on the back. Accomplishments seems to lose their luster when thought of in retrospect, especially if most people you know have done the same thing. But man a lot of what we do is a big deal and should always be seen that way. You’re a work in progress, keep striving for that ultimate goal, but give yourself credit for the little things you do along the way.
