Lisa Woodruff argues your work has value whether or not anyone thanks you for it. Waiting for recognition breeds resentment. Act with confidence anyway, and find worth in what you actually did.

You don't need to be thanked to be justified. Your work matters even if no one notices. Recognition feels good, but it isn't the reason your work has value. You don't need to be thanked in order for your effort to count. Visibility isn't about applause. It's about honesty. Once you internalize that, you can show up confidently without resentment or defensiveness. What would change if you stopped waiting for validation?
