You could receive compliments from people close to you today, which may make you feel that your efforts are appreciated. Having your work acknowledged might be an important way for you to retain your motivation, since you likely feel that your work has value when others recognize it. Learning how to accept other people's praise humbly today could help you understand that everything you do has worth and that you do not need the validation of others to make you feel appreciated. Once you become aware of the fact that confirmation about your work should come from within, you might find it easier to receive accolades from a place of detachment, meaning that your sense of self is not reliant upon other people's feeling about you. This may make it easier to accept the merits of your own gifts as opposed to requiring approval from others.
Recognizing that our work has significance allows us to receive praise for what it is worth and not for what it gives us. Compliments are a means for others to tell us how they feel about what we do. While their appreciation is beneficial, it is not something that defines us. Feeling truly cherished means that we give ourselves the love and acceptance that we need first and foremost. It is only then that we will be able to graciously and sincerely receive it from others. By appreciating yourself first, you will find greater value in the compliments you receive today.
