Why we struggle despite our seemingly great achievements

It is absolutely amazing that you managed to finish primary education, and what can be more rewarding is to learn self-assessment and develop self-awareness.

Your certificate in a course is a major achievement. It is more beneficial to have a certificate in honesty.

It is great to have a high school diploma, but more than anything if you can have a diploma in self-compassion.

Well done for your degree in a course that helps you to pay the bills. It is even more life giving to have a degree in self-love. Develop self-trust, self-compassion and self-respect and you will live to work and play happily ever after.

Well done for your master's course which takes work to achieve. More than anything it is a masters in self-management and self-leadership, that you require, for self-regulation and to make decisions in your best interest.

With your PhD, your effort and time is commendable. Hopefully, you have a PhD, where you have mastered a simple routine called self-care, encompassing your physical, spiritual, social and pyschological existence. Only in that routine lies your salvation and your peace of mind.

Having attained a doctorate, you must have put so much effort in your education. Yet put effort in virtue, the ability to be congruent, to show up as you feel, to communicate with others with compassion, to express yourself and your needs in a healthy way is a requirement.

To be to others as you want others to be to you.

To look at everyone as your equal with an awareness of our differences and our commonalities.

That we are all individuals, yet we are also part of a larger whole.

Not wishing bad on anyone. Not being revengeful.

To basically avoid self-betrayal.

Your technical skills are crucial to do your work. More than anything, learning the art of letting go is a major life skill even at work.

You might run a successful business, and perhaps come with multiple recommendations at work. Yet, it is the recommendations you come with, about how you show up for you that are mandatory for fulfilment.

The way you look after yourself and how you meet your needs on the four dimensions of existence is of great benefit.

Congratulations on your relationship. I hope your self-relationship is getting the same, or even more attention than you might give your romance.

Well done for the weight loss. Additionally, lose the pyschological weight you carry and show up authentically.

Well done for becoming a therapist, a coach, an influencer. Your achievements need to serve you first before they serve others. Or you might help others as a way of avoiding yourself. Make sure you are using your content and tools in your life first.

You are good looking, just like any flower that blooms, yet may your beauty and handsome be seen in your kindness and compassion, and love for fellow humans and your lover and children.

You eloquently expressing your passion for your job, for sport, or for drink and cars. Be more eloquent in expressing loving boundaries

For in all your achievements you need humility. In all your studies, if you cannot communicate with other humans at their level or if you cannot trick everybody is a worthy equal being then you still need to study from elementary or primary level.

And if you do not have any of these "qualifications " you are still worthy. Just remember the important achievements are not about money, fame, looks or possessions. They include love on three lives; encompassing dignity, self-love, and emotional intelligence.

Because no matter what achievements what business is you have built, no matter what level of education or job you have, as long as you are incapable of managing yourself, regulating yourself, committing to yourself , your education is still to begin.

As long as you are reactive, look down on others and unable to communicate and express your needs in a healthy way, you are just a child in an adult body.

As long as you are still unable to adult, all that education and achievements are a coping strategy. A way to prove yourself.

Anything you achieve in life needs to promote peace of mind. A sense of self, being able to look within, soothe within and not bleed without, that is the greatest achievement and qualification of all. A quality life is promoted by how you feel about yourself and how you show up for yourself. Even without a certificate.
