Pride.

So this morning I woke up, meditated, and at the end realised I was feeling proud of myself. In further reflexion, and reading a lot of posts on this forum, I wondered, do any of you ever feel proud of yourself for the journey you have been on?

Because, we should!

Enduring a world built by those of a different mindset than us, day in day out, we are soldiers. Not only are we hypersensitive, but we are also hypercreative, intelligent, forward thinking people who have more to give to the world than the world wants to hear ...and that should be something to be proud of!

So well done ASC community. I'm proud of you all

  • Thank you. This has come at just the right time for me, as I was feeling particularly sorry for myself today. Today was the day I was supposed to be going on holiday solo, for the first time since before the pandemic. Unfortunately it was cancelled by the tour operator when they changed their flight schedules. Your post made me appreciate how much I should be proud that I had the courage to book the trip, even if I did not get to go on it. Hopefully there will be other opportunities in the future.

    I think in general I have been kinder to myself since I received my diagnosis. I no longer see past events as the failures I once did. Your comments have made me realise that there is further I could go with this thinking. Instead of just no longer seeing myself as a failure I should be actively proud at what I did manage to achieve, despite all the challenges along the way.
