Is Your Brilliance Being Recognized?
Did you know that Van Gogh only sold one painting in his lifetime?
And then…..
In 1990, ONE of his paintings of Dr. Gachet sold for 82.5 million!
Sometimes I base my own value…. on how others value me.
Am I alone here?
It’s a tricky balance of caring what others think, because let’s face it, we’re not alone on this planet, and what others think matters – a lot at times.
On the other hand, it’s empowering to say, “Regardless of what others may think, I’m going to live life on my terms.”
Today, I ask you to think about how you balance these two competing thoughts…
A.) Doing something for the validation, recognition or admiration of others
B.) Doing things that you’re proud of, regardless of whether or not you’re praised, appreciated or respected for it
It doesn’t have to be either A or B, but perhaps a blend. There’s always option C, D, E…
What are your thoughts?
Cheers,
Jon
