The appreciation of others helps us know we are on the right track.
After all the hard work, someone sees us and acknowledges the effort and contribution.
Like a stamp of approval of our work.
Why do we need a stamp of approval?
It causes me to deeply reflect on my life and my people-pleasing ways.
My comparing myself with others, a natural tendency, but toxic to my happiness.
Pleasing or helping the people I hope to help is important.
And letting them help me by sharing their compliments with others.
