Self-Worth Beyond Accolades

I made a startling discovery: I preferred to operate only when I was being celebrated.

As the only girl sandwiched between two incredible brothers, I grew up receiving accolades and recognition. That praise became the fertile ground where I thrived. But here’s the problem—when the applause stops, so does the motivation.

 

Breaking free from that mindset hasn’t been easy, and it requires daily commitment to think differently.

 

Now, I have a question for you: Does your sense of worth depend on what people say about you or your ideas?

 

If so, be mindful—flattery, praise, and external validation are shaky foundations to build your life on. Maybe for you, it’s not about being celebrated. Maybe it’s perfectionism or fear of failure that’s holding you back.

 

There are little foxes that keep us stuck. Our job? Identify them. Chase them out. Thrive.
