24 People Tell the World About the Things They Are Most Proud Of
Some people don’t like to share their successes because they don’t want to look like they are bragging. But we think that they should share. Because someone else’s successes are something everyone can use to achieve their own goals. If someone else was able to fight their own childhood fears and even beat a serious disease, is there anything impossible in this world?
We at Bright Side understand that sometimes people don’t want to share their successes with others. So we want to help them brag a little.
1. “My brother was the first to graduate with a Master’s in my family. My dad couldn’t stop crying.”
2. “My sweet girl is cancer-free today!!!”
3. “Faced one of my few fears today and gave a presentation to dozens of people about Steven Spielberg, everyone started clapping and a couple of people came up to me and told me I was amazing, plus I got this shirt as a birthday gift. Today is my birthday.”
4. “The first painting I have made since I quit drinking 93 days ago. I thought I would never paint again.”
5. “My corgi when he found out that he made it onto a billboard”

8. “After 4 years, 75 rejections, and 164 days on anxiety medicine, I published my first fantasy book!”
9. “When I was born, the doctors told my parents I had aortic stenosis so blood couldn’t move around to the rest of my body. I wasn’t supposed to live to my first birthday. This is my cardiologist and I. In a little over a month, I start my first semester of college.”
10. A big smile on a proud mother

19. “My gramma has gone 2 weeks without smoking a single cigarette!!”
