People are pretty bad at acknowledging out loud.
They see and feel and recognize the work you’re doing, but they keep it to themselves; their default setting is not to share that they notice.
Because the feeling of being seen and recognized is so powerful, we’re quick to convince ourselves that the work we’re doing isn’t meaningful if it’s not getting noticed.
So I’m here to say that if you think it’s work worth doing, then it’s getting noticed by someone somewhere. It’s making a positive impact even if no one is saying it.
What matters is that we keep showing up day after day, whether we hear that we’re getting noticed or not – because we are.
Stay Positive & Keep At It, They’re Watching
