A proud moment can be enjoyed without using it to settle an old score.

Success and vindication feel similar from the inside, which is why a good moment so easily turns into an argument aimed at someone who once doubted you. The trouble is that this hands them a share of the moment they did not earn. What you did stops being about the work and becomes about them instead.

When something goes well this week, notice whether a particular name appears in your head alongside it. Let the achievement stay yours by telling someone who was glad for you all along. The score can go unsettled and the day will still be good.
