Monday Memos of Success

26 August, 2013 - 11:44am - katia11

Ok so every week the dean at my school sends an e-mail out to everyone highlighting the a-mazing achievements of everyone. I bet you can guess who's name is NOT on that list ever.

So I thought "heh. I'm sick of this guy I don't even know making me feel bad. I'm going to celebrate my successes even if he doesn't think they are worth sending in an e-mail!"

So here this is. Each Monday, feel free to put in your successes, either big or small. We are all on our own journey and shouldn't measure ourselves with someone else's yardstick.

I ordered my son's newborn portraits that were taken in the hospital.

He was born in Nov 2010. . .

yay!

What a really great Idea Katia. I really agree that is easy to get into a kind of mesmerising deflation when everyone else's achievements are publicised - the only person we should be measuring ourselves with (I nearly, and wrongly, said against) is ourselves. Not only that but ourselves at this moment in time. 

And congratulations on advocating for yourself. I find that an incredibly difficult thing to do- in fact have been procrastinating over a bit of self-representation I need to be doing for over six weeks.

So I actually have some celebrations today.

I finally got a small medical problem (nothing life threatening) looked at after procrastinating for like 1.5 years.

Also I called my manager yesterday and asked about another position I wanted that was not given to me. It wasn't anything to do with me- I just needed to make sure the main manager knows I want that position! I'm proud I advocated for myself.

Great job Katia 11
