The Self-Appreciation Challenge: The Entries
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.

Wow, that's a lot. We sure do love ourselves...hahahaha. Good luck and how will I ever read all of these. I guess mine was so terrible, it refused to embed. Shamed by the exploits of your illustrious list of entries. Thats fine, we aim to participate and support.
Thanks for sharing these Rick. I’ve only read about four to date and a few more I am keen to read. Thanks for organising and good luck to the team in judging. This challenge was on my mind a lot - I just couldn’t think of enough this time sorry.
Thanks for putting them all here. I may have time this weekend to read!!
Well that was certainly a fine way to be triggered repeatedly by another 10 things I'm not, lol. Have fun & thanks for doing this, Rick.
Thanks! I've already read some of these, but I'll check the others out!
Not sure why mine didn't get included so I'll just wish everyone else good luck.
My comments aren't showing up! I just commented with my submission because I noticed mh entry wasn't on the list but now it's still not showing up on here. Help! 😭
This challenge is more than just a challenge. Many of us needed this therapy. Thank you, Rick for running it.
Oh man I see how many I’ve read and how many I still have to read. Perfect for a rainy weekend. Although you made me uncomfortable attempting this, I want to thank you.
Wow I need to go back and read some of these
