You might be comparing your achievements with those of others which could make you feel less certain about your abilities today. Although it is sometimes useful to see what other people are capable of, it is always important to keep in mind that your journey is your own and that whatever you have been able to accomplish in your life is something to be proud of. Instead of judging yourself today you might turn your thoughts toward more positive views of your personal contributions to the world. Perhaps looking back and seeing just how many people you have helped or how many lives your work has touched could make it easier for you to recognize that you have, in fact, attained a lot in your life. Changing your perspective in this way might also make you feel more confident in yourself and your personal triumphs.

Our view of success comes from within ourselves. Even though it is natural for us to see what others have done and hold ourselves up to their standard, it is not always a realistic endeavor, for we are all blessed with different talents and gifts. When we understand this, we begin to realize that it is what we do in our life with our talents that counts – not how we compare to others around us. By looking at your life and what you have been able to attain through the lens of your own experiences today, you will truly appreciate the value that your work and achievements bring to the world.
