You could find yourself receiving recognition and respect for your professional endeavors, which may have you feeling proud. People around us may have become accustomed to our consistently high-quality contributions and forget to show their appreciation. But when we are reminded of how much our good work means to others, we may have a renewed feeling of fulfillment. Acknowledgement is like icing on the cake of a job we have done well, because we don\'t do our best just to garner the appreciation of others. We may generally feel fulfilled by meeting our own highest expectations and doing our best to serve others, but when we receive compliments it gives us a boost. Today you deserve to feel proud for the work you\'ve done well.

This is true of all work we do, not just work we do for business. Mothers and volunteers also do important work that deserves recognition and respect. As we enjoy the accolades for our work today, we know what a difference it makes to us, so we can make a point of sharing it with others. We can acknowledge all those that made it possible for us to do our work well, whether they are our support staff or mentors, parents or teachers. We can show our appreciation for our family members who keep our homes running smoothly and for the cashiers who do their work efficiently and with a smile. Enjoy the recognition you\'ve received today, and share it with those who you appreciate to uplift others as you have been uplifted.
