What are you most proud of in your life?
My life is simple, simpler than anything. I have never been rich enough to ride luxurious cars, can’t afford foreign trips for my vacations. But I think being rich is not something to be proud of.
Have you ever faced discrimination among your relatives because your family is not well off? Well, my family had those moments when people (read as relatives) didn’t bother to invite us in any function or auspicious occasion. My dad never cared about it much, but my mom used to feel bad.
If I look at my life, I see nothing to be proud of, like other people take pride in their wealth and achievements. But there is one thing which made a difference in my life.
Writing.
When I started writing, I was just another journalist, frustrated with his life, who had his share of mistakes, struggles, and downfalls. And then I started writing for myself. I tried to pen down everything about my life honestly.
People liked it, appreciated it, and started to relate with my writing. I tried not to disappoint anyone who asked for my help.
To be honest, I didn’t start writing to help people out here, but I started liking it. I never expected anything in return, except love and respect. Fortunately, people here didn’t let me down.
It is not my blog website profile that I am proud of. There are many talented, popular, and great writers writing on this platform.
But when I listen to,
You have saved my life.
You have saved my career.
You helped me to make proper decisions.
Then, I feel proud of myself. My inbox is full of these messages.
I couldn’t change my life when I had the time, but I am glad I somehow changed a few lives.
That is why I am proud of my writing. Not because I write something marvelous, but it has brought some changes around me, and in people who were determined to bring change in their life after reading my work.
Take pride in how far you have come,
And have faith in how far you can go. — Unknown.
