- That person who always brags about her latest business venture may only feel good about herself when she is talking about her accomplishments.

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.
