Appreciation

How often to we feel unappreciated, not recognized and simply ignored? I bet its something that happens to everyone at some point of time.

The truth is this people are selfish and we look out for ourselves and we yearn for appreciation of ourselves but in doing so we focus on ourselves and as such we are unable to appreciate others around us.

The fact that we need to feel appreciated is because it is what we base our self worth on. We need validation from others and when others appreciate us, we feel good and know we are valued. But like I've mentioned above, human kinds are selfish, few and seldom do we get appreciated or recognized for our efforts. Hence the need for self validation. we got to recognize our own efforts and encourage ourselves. Knowing within our hearts of heart itself that we have done the right thing, done the best that we can, should be encouragement enough to push us in the right direction even if people do not give us a pat on the back.

I dont know what you would gather from this but always do the right thing despite not being appreciated is something that I thought is of great value. of course there might be many other thoughts on these idea but lets keep it short. =)
