Be proud of the good choices you made, but don’t brag about them. Quiet wins age better.

Announcing your own decency converts it into something else. The good thing you did stays good, and the telling adds a layer that changes how it reads, because listeners hear the wanting to be seen more clearly than the act. Satisfaction that does not need an audience is also more durable.

Let the next good thing go unmentioned and see how it sits. Keep the pride, drop the report, and notice that the private version lasts longer.
