You may not get recognized for accomplishments, and that's OK




Have you ever created a great piece of work, put all your effort into a great project, or accomplished something great, only to experience the hurt of never getting noticed or given enough credit for what you did? Then Congratulations! You’re on the right track to success 

How do I Know that? Well let me tell you a story 

I come from a make-it-yourself background, basically made everything I am now from scratch. And I managed to surround myself with amazing people who were from the same background as well, they are strong, inspiring people either in academics or in their personal lives. We made a great team and kick-started a humanitarian project aiming to help people in need, which academically was required of us yes, but we took it a step further, following our own passion. The project was small but it had great impact, not only on our audience, but also on our own lives. However, our academic board did not meet such strategic success with any support at all. And we can say that from there it was very easy for every single powerful member of our team to feel like they had failed. But this was not the case.
 

I am telling you this story to get to the message that is; you do not need to get glorified for every goal you carry out to know your worth. We are living in a society where credit is given for people who hadn’t necessarily earned it. It is how most of us are brought up today, we get everything easily, and with ways that prevent us from working hard. Some people receive praise and credit they don’t deserve, and that’s OK. Don’t stress about it, don’t worry about missing your chance in life because of it, you won’t. Things will always manage to get back on the right track for those who never give up - and I know what you’re thinking-  it is not just a saying, you can call it karma or whatever but if you keep trying to go further, you will eventually get the appreciation you deserved all along. And the people who get it easy never last long. Because in the real world; hard workers prevail. 

So if we can survive it, you can too! Do not let in-appreciation get you down, do not wait for praise on every little accomplishment, know yourself and your worth and keep moving forward, seeing the difference you are making, driven with your passion and love for what you do and you will get there, eventually.

Difficult Times.. A Diary

Interesting story; I have been writing something to be shared, basically writing what I was doing to handle the stressful time, and having to be locked down at home. I was writing with so much excitement to share this with others, that maybe someone can be inspired and have more hope in each day. I realized that afterwards, my writings of how I was feeling week by week were changing greatly, so I kept on writing. Here’s how the writings looked like week by week. Week 1   What to do during this time? Reflect! Slow down, and reflect; on everything. What I did personally was that I decided to take out a pen and my favorite notebook and write down what I wanted to do every day during the time I will be spending at home. I found out so many things I wanted to do! Eventually, but not immediately. I started with writing down some form of a schedule; I arranged my work time, time for working out at home, time to read and reflect, or just watch something I like. ...

Pandemic! But Don't Panic, Reflect..

I know you’re scared, and worried, and anxious. And it is all totally understandable. What is happening, it does make sense to everyone. We are in a time where nothing is clear, but all that we know for sure that this is a time of change. All our lives are a time of constant change.   If anything is certain, and if anything does not change, that will be change itself. And change doesn’t always look appealing. Change comes in many ways and forms. However; the main point here is to know that, this time of change isn’t intended to be evil, it is not evil at all. I know this may sound crazy to some but on the contrary, it isn’t at all. It is exactly what is taking place due to humanity’s behaviors. The laws of nature are only taking their part and responding to our actions, to our choices, to what we choose to do every day collectively as humanity, to what we set as a priority, what we chose to believe in and what we chose to ignore and keep away. We can’t escape reality...

Don't Panic, Reflect.. What's Happening?

In order not to panic, and reflect. We need to clear our minds and adjust ourselves to think more. And the more we listen to our thoughts and feelings the more we will be asking the right questions, and hopefully finding meaningful answers to them that shall give us peace. From my modest perspective, I believe the first logical question, and the one I tend to see very often is; What is happening? A change, a big change.  A difficult time that seems to present danger to people, but is this danger something that we were not expecting? Is it really out of the blue, and no clues or hints were seen before? Were we not aware of our actions, as human beings, collectively? What have we been doing to the environment? To nature? To animals? To other human beings? Our own families? Our own people?  What choices have we been making over the past years? It wouldn’t be wrong to say that we brought it upon ourselves, but that does not mean we are guilty and worthy of pu...
