MindReality makes a good point, it might have to do with your self-esteem. I was just reading Six Pillars of Self-Esteem and one of the marks of a good sense of self-esteem is the belief that you are deserving of success, happiness, being loved and love. So, you might focus on improving your self-esteem?
Conversly (to my earlier post), you might have beliefs about modesty or humility or humbleness that you need to reexamine?
BTW, you don't necessarily have to wait till your bday to reflect on your growth or achievements. You can do it today. Perhaps you'd like to write them down. I maintain a list of "Wins" where I list them, big or small, whatever feels like a win. I do it immediately after doing or achieving something, when I'm still feeling "high" on the win. Alternatively, you could just write about your achievements in the past little while.
Good luck and I hope this helps.
