How can I determine if I have truly achieved something or if I just believe I have?

True achievement is marked by an unwavering certainty within; if you find yourself questioning its reality, it is merely imagination.

— Osho
According to Osho, the test is inner doubtlessness: any authentic achievement carries a quiet, unwavering certainty, regardless of others’ opinions; imagination is betrayed by questions, restlessness and doubt. If you wonder whether it’s real, it isn’t. If there is clear, peaceful knowing without inner conflict, it is real. Like recognizing an inner diamond, its very presence shines with self-evident assurance.

If you still doubt it, it’s just your head; when it’s true, your heart is calm and sure no matter what anyone says.
