About This Quote

All people like to be praised as it boosts their self-esteem, keeps them motivated and happy but it also pushes them into the abyss of sham, which is propelled by hypocrisy and sycophancy. The only way to truly improve yourself is to give yourself credit for what you have accomplished. It won’t hurt you to receive praise at all, but do not let praise cause you to be complacent with what you are already doing. Praise yourself every day, but don’t allow praise to become a crutch that allows you to ignore uncomfortable truths about your life or the people in it.
