"Now there lived in that city a man poor, but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man." [Ecclesiastes 9:15]
Even Migos said, "They do anything for clout."
"If your sole purpose is to win people's approval, then be prepared to be limited by what their approval gets you" (Orji, Y., 2021, p. 219, Bamboozled By Jesus: How God Tricked Me into the Life of My Dreams).
If you are motivated by recognition, then you are guaranteed to fail.
That's it. That's the post.
I like this topic. I still struggle with an intense desire to be recognized. I now channel that energy into a desire to be appreciated, which isn’t much better, lol. My cup is filled with experience and knowledge and I’m learning It is sufficient enough to appreciate myself and recognize my strides. No more living for other people’s approval!
