From the time you wake up in the morning, turn off the snooze button and rush to prepare yourself for the day to the time you brave the long commute home in the evening, people need you. They’re counting on you to get reports in on time, prepare nutritious meals, provide emotional support, and handle the unexpected stresses of the day with grace and poise. These are just a few of the reasons why you have every right to pat yourself on the back occasionally. Unfortunately, most of society expects us to juggle the world on our shoulders while plastering a smile on our faces and displaying a false humility that makes everyone else feel comfortable.
