Praise can encourage us, but it should not make us attached to an old image of ourselves. Steady goodness remains open to learning and improvement.
Praise Has Value, but It Is Not the Finish Line
Receive praise with gratitude and let it encourage you to continue doing good.
Do Not Become Attached to Being the Expert
Being willing to admit what we do not know keeps learning honest.
Humility Helps Us Grow
Knowing that we can still improve keeps the door open to useful guidance.
Turn Praise Into Motivation for Good
When someone notices our goodness, look for ways to pass that goodness forward rather than collect more praise.
What You Can Do Today

One Good Thing Today
Thank someone who has offered you sincere and useful guidance.
Come Back Tomorrow
Ask yourself what new thing you learned today, even if it was small.
