The respect and admiration that you receive from your peers could make you feel appreciated today. Just knowing that your efforts can positively influence another person's life might make you feel a sense of validation and that your hard work is appropriately rewarded. Looking upon your work as a joy instead of as a way to receive praise, however, could make you feel more fulfilled. Maybe you can think about the reasons for the things you do today. In order to do this, you might first wish to mentally visualize your ideas about your work entering your heart center. As you inhale, you can imagine love infusing your work projects, imbuing them with joyful energy. Learning to see your work as a product of your heart rather than of your intellect or ego could make you feel appreciation for the simple act of being able to engage in the process of doing it.

Confirmation of the value of the work we do should ideally come from our hearts. While it is wonderful to see the impact of our efforts on others, it is so much more gratifying to see that our work has the potential to infuse our lives with purpose and passion. It is through our energetic love and desire that our work really has meaning for ourselves and, ultimately, for others. By recognizing that your efforts are as important to you as they are to other people, you will find true significance in what you do today.
