Originally from Best Ever You Network.
After publishing my first book, I won the same award for that book, Spiritual Fitness as the Dalai Lama won in a different category, I was so shocked that I could have dropped the award! I was so deeply touched and in disbelief. Then I thought of the usual protocol that I see on so many social media posts: “humbled and honored.” Was I humbled and honored? I was certainly humbled, because of the notable connection. And what I really felt was surprised, deliriously happy and grateful.
There are a lot of awards and recognitions available to those who would seek them. And they do lend credibility to your work. But there are important questions to ask yourself before you journey down the path of recognition. So, prior to putting yourself out there check out the possible outcomes so that you can make it a winning adventure no matter how the story ends.
