So I set out on finding the reasons behind this.
- Maybe I raise my expectations very high.
- I leave ‘my feeling good’ factor in someone else’s hands.
- I like to be appreciated.
After some contemplation on this issue which has surfaced every now and then in my life, I can now conclude that all I need to focus on is my own satisfaction and ‘feeling good’ mood.
The ‘others’ do matter and will always do but depending on them for growth and living is a total waste of time and an absolute hindrance to well-being.
One does not need assurance to just be happy and smile. We should befriend and rely on our own feelings, gut and soul for it. The ‘others’ can only add on to that but never take away what we have and feel. This will also increase the confidence two-fold and put us on the ‘Go for it!’ map.
This exercise has also made me realise that I should be more careful with giving feedback and responding to ideas, and decisions too.
An important lesson learnt today!

indeed! i learnt too, thanx for the piece :)
Often, I find myself craving for feedback. And I do go around asking inputs from people. If I get good inputs, I feel happy; else...
So, now, I do my tasks with complete focus, earnestness, and joy. And then I move on...telling myself that I've done my best.
