Never apologize for your success

People want to see you succeed until you surpass their expectations. When you become greater than they thought you could, envy arises. Even so, never dim down your accomplishments and achievements to make someone else feel better about themselves. You worked hard to get where you are, don't apologize for your reward... it's yours, revel in it.

I'm not saying go out into the world bragging and boasting about what you've seen, have or experienced. God doesn't bless us to be arrogant, he blesses us to be inspiration and to be blessings to others. It's about showing how following your dreams can be beneficial in every aspect, and appreciating how far you've come.

 

It's about all of the countless 'no's' you had to go through to receive that one 'yes'. It's about sacrifice, hard work, and  drive to keep going even when you feel like there's nothing left to cover. Everything you did or are doing is to enrich your life, it doesn't go unnoticed.

Be courageous. Be appreciative. Be confident. If you give your all to something you deserve it in return, and that's what your accomplishments are. Your success is your reward for all that you did, don't stop going until you are proud. Smile and enjoy the fruits of your labor; display your trophies, certificates, degrees, promotions, etc. you never know how your success can inspire someone else.
