Being Appreciated

Doing what you believe is the right thing to do is sometimes difficult. You know what you're supposed to do, but it's not always black and white. There are times when you worry about what others will say, that it paralyzes you. It seems that no matter what you do it's not appreciated by others. They do not see your hard work or the sacrifices you've made. Then who are you, if no one acknowledges your efforts. Although we don't have the answers for you, know that whatever you do, you have to live with the consequences whether others see what you do. It is within you to live by what you believe to be true whether you are appreciated or not. Believe in yourself, as we do. Ask yourself if that is not enough, then what more are you asking for. How long are you going to live your life depending on what others think about you? Lift your head high and live a life that is genuine for you, no matter what others may think.
The sun is always there for us...

(I heard someone say the other day, "No one appreciates what I do?" It made me sad that this person depends so much on what others people think about him. Knowing that he does a good job, but may never be happy with who he is. I know it's difficult to be satisfied with who we are, but I can't help but thinking the things we can do if we believed in ourselves.)
