Should I be proud of my achievements if they were obtained through luck

Pride can be a complex emotion, to much and we lose the ability to see others and ourselves, to little and we lose the ability to see ourselves and others. When we can take pleasure in our work we ought to.  At the same time we need to be careful that we don’t attache our sense of self on our work, achieves or failures. The ego likes to attach itself to achievements – “I” am a good person because I am good a playing the piano. The ego will also attach itself to our failures – “I” am a bad person because I suck at playing the piano.  ‘You’ are not your ego

Take pleasure in your achievements just be careful if you find yourself defining yourself as being this or that based on those achievements.
