What's your proudest achievement?

[Zkuq]

For me, pride is mostly a fleeting feeling. There are probably some things I can think of and still feel some pride even after a long time, but the feeling fades. In fact, I think pride is fundamentally fairly incompatible with the way I think. I do my best, and I don't mean my utmost best, I mean the best I can realistically do in any given situation without having to stretch my limits, and it has served me very well so far. What matters in the end is how happy I am with the choices I've made, and it's that happiness that dominates and pushes pride to the side. I don't know if there's something I could do but haven't done yet that could make me feel more pride, but right now it seems unlikely.

I'm not particularly pride of anything, but I feel varying degrees of happiness about all the choices and achievements, if you'd call them such. Pride itself is a feeling I generally feel but for a short moment. It feels like something others might require of me sometimes, which feels really awkward to me, because pride is not a feeling of value to me personally.

As for the achievement I'm the happiest about, I don't think anything in particular stands out. If something was to stand out, it would mean I could probably achieve something comparable again, after which it would not stand out. If I couldn't, it would probably be more down to luck than me, so why would I feel particularly happy, let alone proud, of it? Of course I could feel happy about the outcome, but I feel like that's missing the point of this thread if I could not feel particularly happy about my part in the process as well.
