Credit yourself


Don’t Let yourself go unaccredited

The world is divided into people who do things and people who get the credit. Alfred A. Montapert

We credit Steve Jobs for the I phone Elon for the Tesla cars, but not those who actually worked behind the scenes and developed these products.

This is the equivalent of the kid who signs their name on the school project that didn’t actually contribute. Or the parent who takes credit for their kids good grades, but can’t really explain what classes they take, or who their professors, or teachers are.

Acknowledge your own hard work if no one else will.



Refuse to only accept or acknowledge your shortcomings


Only aim to do your duty, and mankind will give you credit where you fail. Thomas Jefferson

Enough people will credit you for the things that go wrong in your life. So do yourself a favor and write down and credit yourself for all that is right in your life.


Have humility in the things you receive credit for


People credit me for making the universe interesting when in fact the universe is inherently interesting, and I’m merely revealing that fact. I don’t think I’m anything special for this to happen. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Don’t develop a god complex, over the things you accomplish humility goes a long way, and is just as good, for you as giving yourself credit. Keep an system of checks and balances.


Giving yourself credit is an act of self love


I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body, I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry, I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger, I can turn that negative energy into something positive. Yoko Ono

When searching for things to be grateful for and to feel good about it is important to credit yourself for the good you did.

Acknowledge all that is positive and right in your life cast out what is negative.


Never feel guilty about taking or claiming credit for your work


I always thought it was wrong for me to take credit for the work that I did. I don’t think that anymore. Dolores Huerta

Often at times, people will try to guilt trip or bs you into giving away your credit, but you have a right to make your contributions known.

In a world of gatekeepers, technology and ingenuity makes it easier than ever to overcome those who would try to silence your voice.
