Acknowledgement

 The way some people operate in their lives really saddens me at times. They just want some form of social connection, some appreciation, some approval, some acknowledgement and they'll try to get it even if it means they are doing a disservice to their own dignities. Our self value has nothing to do with people appreciating us, so seeking it is only going to have a negative impact in our lives as we slowly but surely will lose respect for ourselves and go in a destructive path. It is so important, and I can't stress this enough, so important to keep our attention on the task in hand. The only thing that matters is the completion of the task. It really is not going to affect the result of the task if people appreciate us or not. If they do appreciate us or acknowledge us, it is just an added incentive and nothing else. Do try to understand this and you may get farther in life than you expect. 

Love, peace.
