Before you get bored and move on, I think I will come to the point. As an artist I always wait to get some appreciation for my work each time I create something new. But today I realized that not only an artist, each human being craves for appreciation, be they a five year old or an old grandma.
What we actually want more than appreciation is acknowledgement. For everyone known to us to accept that we exist, that we matter, that we r a part of this society.
What we don't realise is that when we seek appreciation or compete with others for attention we actually acknowledge ourselves, our talent and capacity.
So we should compete more, because the more we compete with others the more we will acknowledge ourselves.
I am not meaning for everyone to be selfish and only put ourselves before everyone, but,care for others, give more, be a good person and improve your nature, to acknowledge that u matter to this society.
If each person thinks like this,the world will soon be a better place to live in.
So, start today, read this post, and leave your comments. Acknowledge ur self and express your thoughts. Bye. Take care.
Give a pat to yourself Vijaya for this nice post.Giving positive strokes to oneself is self motivating.Competition with self is the best way of self development. This was indeed a thought provoking post.Keep it up!

DeleteYes. It's good to have healthy competition as well as the acknowledgement. Not that I am competing with anybody, but now as I was reading this article, I felt like, as I wanted to excel in my hobby merely looking at other people's embroidery, may be I in a way competing with all the members of the group. Yes. I think I was. In a good way of course. Beautiful message Vijaya!! Loved it.
