“I am proud of you and your accomplishment” is something we use when we want to tell someone that we admire them and are satisfied with something they have just achieved.
You can use it when you want to let someone know that you are impressed by what they have done and feel a sense of pride about it.
In essence, you are acknowledging the person’s hard work, effort, and the results they are getting out of the things they are doing.
When you want to say this and are looking for alternatives, I have outlined and discussed 15 other ways to say “I am so proud of you and your accomplishments.”
What to Say Instead of “I am So Proud of You and Your Accomplishments”
These are 15 top picks for other ways to let someone know that you are proud of them and their accomplishment:
- You have done well for yourself and I am excited for the things you will achieve
- Your resilience is inspiration and the things you have achieved so far are nothing short of what you deserve
- Nobody is deserving of the award like you are and permit me to extend my heartfelt congratulations
- This is huge and I am even intimidated by what you have just done
- You are a goal getter, turning your vision into reality, and I must confess, I envy you big time
- This is nothing more than you deserve. I can’t wait to see what you will achieve in the future
- You continue to raise the bar with the things you do
- I don’t think people know so much about what you have done over the years. You are truly a trailblazer
- The way you are committed to become a better person is commendable. It is even more impressive to see the results that trail that commitment.
- You have shaped a wonderful kid, doing something everyone would have never thought was possible.
- How do you always do it? You make these milestones feel like walkovers
- I’d be so envious of you if you weren’t my friend. You are simply inspirational
- I need to learn your way. I mean how do you win so effortlessly
- Not just me but everyone is happy with what you have done for yourself and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for you
- I could be your personal hypeman cause it gives me joy to speak of what you have achieved so far and what I know you are going to achieve
These responses are contextual. They have use cases and I have pointed out what they are so that you can understand when and how to use them.
You Have Done Well For Yourself And I Am Excited For The Things You Will Achieve
You can let the person know that you are proud of them and their accomplishment by saying “You have done well for yourself and I am excited for the things you will achieve.”
It can be used when the person has just completed a phase of their life’s pursuit. It could be graduating from med school as they pursue a career in medicine.
Telling them of your excitement about what you believe they will achieve is another way to let them know that you are proud of their accomplishment.
Your Resilience Is an Inspiration And The Things You Have Achieved So Far Are Nothing Short Of What You Deserve
Another way you can tell someone that you are proud of them and what they have accomplished is to say “Your resilience is inspiration and the things you have achieved so far are nothing short of what you deserve.”
Here, you are making reference to the fact that they are resilient. To be resilient means to withstand difficult situations in order to achieve one’s goals.
If this person achieved something after beating several odds, then you can use this example. It could be after they complete their college program, when they overcome a major setback, or after completing a difficult process.
Nobody Is Deserving Of The Award Like You Are And Permit Me To Extend My Heartfelt Congratulations
You should use this when the accomplishment has something to do with an award or a recognition.
If the person has just won an award say they won the employee of the month award or when awarded a public recognition either by the community or the government.
We understand that these awards do not come except if one has done something that truly warrants the awarding.
This Is Huge And I Am Even Intimidated By What You Have Just Done
If someone has done something and you think it was massive, you can tell them that “This is huge and I am even intimidated by what you have just done.”
The part where you talk about being intimidated by them signifies that you are proud of them. Some people may not get the idea of being intimidated in this light so it is better to say this to someone who is close to you and will understand there is no room for envy or tension.
You can use this example when someone starts a new business or buys a new house.
You Are A Goal Getter, Turning Your Vision Into Reality, And I Must Confess, I Envy You Big Time
There are people who seem to have a way of always hitting their goals big. We have them in colleagues and friends – people who say they want to get something done and they do it against all odds.
When someone like that does something again and you want to tell them about how proud you are of them, “You are a goal getter, turning your vision into reality, and I must confess, I envy you big time” is going to help you do that.
This Is Nothing More Than You Deserve. I Can’t Wait To See What You Will Achieve In The Future
Some people seem deserving of certain successes. It could be because of the effort they put into what they do or how they have struggled and waited for their turn.
When you know someone who has given their all and finally achieved something, “This is nothing more than you deserve. I can’t wait to see what you will achieve in the future” is a good way to let them know you are happy with their achievement.
You Continue To Raise The Bar With The Things You Do
Another way to let someone know that you are proud of the things they have accomplished is to say “You continue to raise the bar with the things you do.”
Maybe they are your colleagues or a part of your friend group. Such a person might be putting other people on their toes with the things they are doing.
When you think you have seen the best they can do, they show you that they are about even more.
You can use this example when:
- The person exceeds their sales target
- Your friend has won a sports award like 3x in a row
I Don’t Think People Know So Much About What You Have Done Over The Years. You Are Truly A Trailblazer
After someone just achieves something big, you can talk about how impressed you are by them by saying “I don’t think people know so much about what you have done over the years. You are truly a trailblazer.”
If you are acquainted with the things the person has done but you think they aren’t talking about it so well or many people do not know what they are about, you can use this example.
The Way You Are Committed To Become A Better Person Is Commendable. It Is Even More Impressive To See The Results That Trail That Commitment
You can only use this example when you are interacting with someone you know so well. If they are someone that’s intentional about their growth, you should use this to tell them how proud you are of them.
A perfect scenario to use this statement is when someone learns a tech skill by themselves and begins to make money from it.
You Have Shaped A Wonderful Kid, Doing Something Everyone Would Have Never Thought Was Possible
You can show your excitement about a person’s accomplishment in raising their kid. It could be a single parent who beat the odds to raise a well-behaved kid without support.
This is something worth commending and if you want to, “You have shaped a wonderful kid, doing something everyone would have never thought was possible” is one of the things you can say.
How Do You Always Do It? You Make These Milestones Feel Like Walkovers
Inquiring about how a person does what they do as soon as they complete a milestone is another way to show your pride in their accomplishment. This is a statement to use when you want to do so.
Asking them how they do it and telling them that they make big things look small will fully communicate that you admire them and are incredibly pleased with what they do.
I’d Be So Envious Of You If You Weren’t My Friend. You Are Simply Inspirational
When you want to tell your friend about how you are delighted by their success or the progress they are making in the pursuit of something, you can say “I’d be so envious if you weren’t my friend. You are simply an inspiration.”
I believe we have all been there – where someone in our friend group continue to put us on our toes and they are humble still. It is a good thing to let them know that you find them inspirational that is to say they make you dare to achieve because you see them achieving.
I Need To Learn Your Way. I Mean How Do You Win So Effortlessly
Nothing is more healthy than realizing that someone is doing well in their field of pursuit or what they have set out to achieve.
You can share your excitement for them by saying “I need to learn your way. I mean how do you win so effortlessly.”
Not Just Me But Everyone Is Happy With What You Have Done For Yourself And We Look Forward To Seeing What The Future Holds For You
This is another good example to use when someone achieves something that has you in awe. If they are your friend or colleague, you can make them understand that you are not the only one who thinks highly of them.
This collective praise is another way to appreciate and celebrate people for the things they are doing for themselves.
Also, letting them know that you are looking forward to what the future holds for them is an attestation of your belief in them. It is like saying “I am rooting for you” or better still “We are rooting for you.”
I Could Be Your Personal Hypeman Cause It Gives Me Joy To Speak Of What You Have Achieved So Far And What I Know You Are Going To Achieve
This might seem derogatory so it is wise to use this when you are talking with someone who has their ego checked and would not allow your praise to get into their head.
By deciding to be their hypeman or hype woman (if you are a lady), you are letting them know that you do not mind talking about their success.
Adding “… what I know you are going to achieve” is you stating that you believe that this is not all there is to what they can do and you won’t stop talking about it with every opportunity you get.
Final Thoughts
Appreciating someone for what they have done or achieved is good practice. It doesn’t matter who it is whether it is a colleague, friend, sibling, or acquaintance.
With these suggestions that I have provided, I am optimistic that you have found ways to share in the joy of someone who has achieved something.
