People employ a wide variety of strategies to get acknowledgment from others in order to grow their sense of self-worth. Everyone has their preferred techniques for getting attention. You may even have a few of your own. You probably also know that basing your self-esteem on external acknowledgment can’t sustain you. The only thing that will work is developing a regular practice of self-acceptance. Live up to your own standards, but also know that you are enough right now. Your worthiness is…

Unconditional.
