"It is up to us to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to come from others, we feel resentful when it doesn't, and when it does, we may well reject it"
- Spencer Tracy
About this Quote
This quote by Spencer Tracy speaks with the value of self-recognition. It depends on us to take pride in our accomplishments and to acknowledge our own successes. If we count on others to give us acknowledgment, we may feel resentful when it doesn't come, or perhaps if it does, we might decline it. This is due to the fact that external acknowledgment is not as significant as the acknowledgment we offer ourselves. It is necessary to put in the time to value our own efforts and to recognize our own successes. This will assist us to build our confidence and to feel more safe and secure in our capabilities. Eventually, it depends on us to offer ourselves the acknowledgment we are worthy of.
