A different look at being proud

Last few weeks lot of people told me to be proud; because I have achieved one of the things I have been dreaming of. A dream I secretly believed could become reality.

What did I achieve? I have won a competition to speak at a TEDx conference and with all passion I delivered my speech at TEDx. I believe one day I can reach even higher than this, for my dream has to be continued.

Despite being told to be proud, not only of this achievement, I have never thought about actually feeling proud. I always tried to keep my modesty about any thing I have achieved.

Slowly I am becoming aware of how important it is to be proud and to really feel it. Being proud makes feeling as being on top of the world! And it gives self-confidence a huge boost.

I think what is left, is to be proud of my failures also, for they also make me what I am today.

I believe we should be proud of what we achieved and are going to achieve. To be proud of our failures, for they play a big role in whom we are.

Last but not least, we should be proud of our voice. Being proud that we can use our voice to reach the whole world. A daily practice of being proud will lift up our society :-).
