Satisfaction derived from one’s achievements (5)

I believe the answer is:

pride

(Other definitions for pride that I've seen before include "They say it comes before a fall" , "conceit" , "group of animals" , "Deadly sin (of lions?)" , "''. . . . . goeth before a fall''" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
