The achievement matters before it becomes evidence in an argument about your worth.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Something you did well has a life of about a minute before it gets recruited. It turns into proof for a case you are making, against a doubt you carry or a person you are answering, and once it is evidence it stops being an experience. The hours and the getting there get skipped on the way to the verdict.

When the next good thing happens, stay with the thing itself before deciding what it proves. Notice what you actually did. Your worth was not on trial, and the achievement is better company when it is not being used for something.
