BWW Blog: Micah Young - Say It Loud

Many of us have a hard time accepting our own accomplishments. You might hear, "Congratulations!" And the knee jerk reaction might be, "oh well, I wasn't so great." The ability to achieve greets things is matched by the ability to knock ourselves down.

Which is why on this day of pride it's a good reminder to own your success. We shouldn't have to apologize for being fabulous, or succeeding. Achieving our goals is hard; and when we do, apologizing for actually following through on our plans is unnecessary.

People in our lives can make us think we are boastful or too proud; that is possible. Thanks be to our trusted friends who keep us humble when we need to be. But for the rest of the time, be proud of your work and be proud of yourself.
