I'm proud of myself today because I blasted through 24 auctions for the contract I'm working on right now. 24 doesn't sound like a lot, but it involves a lot more work than you'd think - sorting, inspecting inside and out, a ton of measuring, photographs, writing, and a lot of physical lifting-and-bending work - I tend to shrug off my ebaying as a hobby that makes me a little money, but it is work, and I'm proud of the good job I do, how effortlessly I do it, and the base of repeat bidders I've built up.
I'm also proud because after reading Panda's post, I'm realizing that I like who I am. I will never be rich - I will probably not ever even be comfortable, financially - and I will never be a "success" in the material terms that society has taught us are important. But I have a big heart, and I love unconditionally with it. I am stubborn, which doesn't sound like a plus, but it is - it means I'm determined and don't give up easily. My mind is endlessly creative, and my hands can create anything that my brain can come up with. I won't even get into the blessings of my physical self... you get the idea. I'm proud of myself for FINALLY being able to see and appreciate what others have seen for years.
Great post, Steph!
