The Self-Appreciation Challenge: The Entries

Running this challenge has been tons of fun so far. We received way more entrants than anticipated. At first I thought this was going to fail because several pepole mentioned that this was a really hard challenge to do. But in the end 29 people came through with some great entries.

Every entry is a winner as each person put forth their sincere thoughts as they humbly wrote about their own virtues. Reading these entries has been a great experience. At times I felt like I was peeking into a personal diary of the most private inner thoughts.

While writing my own list of Self-Appreciation I felt a sense of emotional growth that was both rewarding and spiritual. But the biggest growth came in reading other people's lists as I was able to apply their experiences to my own life and look at myself from a different and unique vantage point in a way I had never done before.

I am so grateful to everyone that has entered this challenge. I thank you for taking the time to put some thought into this and sharing some of your most private and intricate thoughts about yourself. I love all of you!

Let's enjoy reading everybody's entries as listed in the order they were submitted to this challenge.
