Came across this site today: http://www.happiness-project.com
and this posting http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2007/05/feeling_unappre.html did wonders for me to realise that i am not alone and what i can do about it. A revelation and i need to keep it always in mind!
St. Therese of Lisieux’s memoir, St. Therese wrote, “When one loves, one does not calculate.”
I have come to to expect appreciation from the people around me for the things i do...and become a real grouch when it doesn't happen...and even more so when i get complains about it after so much thought and effort went into it! Wasn't motivated by the praise i can get out of it but rather wanted to see the enjoyment and happiness on the others' face...dats all
"People don’t notice your mistakes and flaws as much as you think."
