Accomplishments
Rejoice not in what ye have done, or will do in the future . . . for ye are unable by such means as these to exalt your stations, were ye to examine your works with acute discernment . . . Nay, God will add unto the recompense with which He shall reward Us, for having sustained with persevering patience the tribulations We have suffered. He, verily, shall increase the reward of them that endure with patience.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 128

He urges you to persevere and add up your accomplishments, rather than to dwell on the dark side of things. Everyone's life has both a dark and bright side. The Master said: turn your back to the darkness and your face to Me.
