Quote of the Day by Spencer Tracy: 'It is up to us to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to' - Inspiring lessons on self-worth, validation, resentment and why real recognition has to start with you, from the Hollywood legend

Quote of the Day by Spencer Tracy: Tracy's quote, It is up to us to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to come from others, we feel resentful when it doesn't, and when it does, we may well reject it, explores the trap of relying on external validation. It highlights how waiting on other people's approval sets you up to feel bitter when it doesn't come, and strangely uncomfortable even when it does.
