4. What You Achieve
Sometimes people want to be known solely for their accomplishments.
- That person who always brags about her latest business venture may only feel good about herself when she is talking about her accomplishments.
- Or that person who just can’t stop beating himself up about that time that he failed, might struggle to move on because that one incident completely crushed his self-worth .
Accomplishments can make you feel good, but basing your entire self-worth on your achievements is like building your house on an unsteady foundation.
You’ll need to experience repeated success in order to feel good about yourself – and that’s hard to maintain over the long-haul.
