The praise you could receive for your work accomplishments could make you feel a sense of acknowledgment today. Maybe because you know that you put so much into your work the validation others give to you might make you feel that your contributions are valuable. Try keeping in mind today that while the acclaim of others is a wonderful thing, it is equally important to feel good about your work within yourself. Learning to recognize that what you do is something that should ultimately fuel your spirit could help you to understand that even though outside praise may be nice, it should not really be necessary for you to strengthen your sense of self-worth. Appreciating your success for how it makes you feel within rather than the gains you may get from others could add a different dimension to your successes.

The admiration of other people will mean so much more to us if we are able to think highly of ourselves. Because it can be so easy to see ourselves through the eyes of other people, some of us tend to rely on their opinions about our efforts to feel as if we are doing a good job. Turning our gaze inwards, however, allows us to value our own triumphs for their own sake, and when we do this, our real satisfaction comes from within us. Giving yourself validation for the work you have done will be just as meaningful for you today as the praise you receive from others.
