Degree of freedom

In life we have two degrees of freedom , if i can't pass the first degree then i'll never be able to ask for the second 

Proud of ...

"I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again" Benjamin Button

Don't ask me why but these words are ringing in my head day and night lately and it's the most annoying words to ring in my head because I really don't know if am living a life that I should be proud of or not it's a deep feeling of losing directions.

And the more I try to understand what could make me proud I get even more lost in the thoughts directions and deep reasons of life and up-till now to be honest there's no clear indication of what could make me proud of myself.
