Dur­ing the last few days I have been pon­der­ing about some­thing I want to change in my life. I’ve become keenly aware of an import­ant motiv­a­tional factor and source of self-​worth on which I’ve been rely­ing since I was very young. I refer to my desire to be seen in a good light by oth­ers, to receive praise, recog­ni­tion, adu­la­tion etc. I have been aware of this for a long time, but only now do I begin to see that this has no place in my life.
