They Say that You Shouldn't Work to Prove Yourself to Others...
It is a Recipe for Disappointment...
Anger...
Frustration...
Especially when You Know How Unlikely it will be to Receive that Recognition.
But at the Same Time...
We are Human.
There is an Innate Desire to Want Recognition.
And Often there are Certain Individuals We Want that Recognition From...
No Matter How Difficult it May Be.
You want Them to See You in a Certain Way...
To Respect the Hard Work that You've Done...
To Understand How Important Their Belief in You is.
It is a Normal Human Inclination that All of Us Experience at Different Points in Our Lives.
I'm Not Immune to this Desire Either.
I also Know Exactly How Hard it can Be when You Do Not Receive that Recognition.
Now, I agree...
You Should Not Work "To" Get that Recognition.
When it Comes to Work...
You have to Learn How to Grow for Yourself and Your Own Goals...
Do it Because You "Want" It For Yourself.
This is What most People Do Not Get Right Though...
So Often...
People Chase the Recognition at Any Cost.
They will Change their Careers...
What they Do "For Fun"...
And Everything about their Lives...
Just to get Recognition from that "One" Person that they Hope.
But this Plan...
So Frequently...
Fails.
Completely...
And Utterly.
But Why?
When You Begin to Look Deeper Into it All...
It Seems that the Challenge has to Do with Who You are Internally.
The Person You are Hoping Will Recognize You...
Is Looking for Something Inside of You.
A Spark...
A Peace...
A Confidence...
A Wholeness.
That is where the Individual will Most Likely Give You that Recognition.
But if You are Chasing their Recognition...
If You Feel You Cannot Attain that Spark without It...
If You are Never at Peace because You Lack It...
If You Struggle to have Confidence because You have Not Received It...
If You Do Not Feel Whole because You are Missing It...
You Do Not have What They are Looking For.
Can You See the Catch-22?
The Vicious Cycle that Begins to Play Out...
Again...
And Again?
We Chase the Recognition to Feel Complete...
But We Only Receive the Recognition After We Are Complete.
It is an Endless Cycle of Pain.
Which is Why We Must Break that Cycle.
We Must Seek Completion without Recognition.
Find Ourselves...
For Others To Recognize that We are Fully Ourselves.
It is Difficult because Today's World has Us Chasing So Many Things that are Outside of Ourselves...
But We Do Not Need Those Things...
What We Need is Already Within Us.
And it is Only After We Discover what is Within Us...
That Others Begin to See that Within Us...
And Recognize Us for That.
What is Even Better About this However...
Is that Once You Feel Complete Within Yourself...
You No Longer Need the Recognition.
You are already Complete.
And...
If that Person Eventually Does See You...
With that Spark...
Fully at Peace...
Feeling Fully Confident...
Living in that Wholeness...
And they Decide to Give You that Recognition...
Like I Received Today from Someone that I had Hoped to Receive Recognition From...
You can Feel Amazing Knowing that You Finally have the Recognition...
While Knowing You Got to Where You Are Without Needing It.
That is the Ultimate Satisfaction that You Can Obtain.
