Even if the following is probably not the very first description you would think of, feeling accomplished is an inside job: It's not as related to someone's external circumstances as it is to the way the person may perceive their own actions, thoughts, and achievements.
We may have seen this countless times:
Someone may be on top of the world, famous, filthy rich, popular, and "accomplished" in the mainstream definition of success and eminence, and yet feel miserable, be plagued every day by imposter syndrome, and be focused only on what has not been obtained yet.
[Sometimes it's very difficult to feel accomplished
if we don't even know what could make us feel that way...]
Someone else may be less wealthy or not that well-known, and yet feel a profound sense of satisfaction, mastery, and accomplishment, even for the tiny things that go well on a daily basis.
We can regard accomplishment as a state of mind, something we can enjoy at every step of our journey, or as an elusive end goal that can be just desired from afar until absolute perfection will be in sight.
Feeling accomplished is indeed all about our perception: What matters is how we see us and how we evaluate what we do, and yet we tend to believe that others are the ones calling the shots.
Today's question is a chance to change this.
