Not my own satisfaction but thy glorification.
Matthew 7:22 ESV
[22] On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
We did this and that in your name, Seems like a statement of pride of self. I did this, I did that. Calls to question the intent behind the doing itself. Was it for your own gratification or His glorification.
We push ourselves beyond limits, we burden ourselves more than we must, we put so much pressure on ourselves. For what, so that we can finally feel proud about ourselves, about our achievements, about our accomplishments.
All we are going to get from this is hurting ourselves or breaking our own backs. Many people, in at attempt to prove to themselves, end up in horrible conditions.
Attempt to satisfy oneself (even in God's name), does not glorify God, It does not please God. All it does is satisfy oneself at the cost of torturing himself.
It definitely make him proud of so many list of things he/she did. But question is why did you do it? Were you trying to prove yourself somthing? Were you pushing so hard to satisfy yourselves?
If so, you'll have no reward in heaven. Patting on your own back for your own achievements and milestones is the only reward you are going to have.
