How do you know you have done a good job?

How do you know when you have done a “good job?” Isn’t it music to our ears when someone tells us that we have done a good job? I certainly think so! From whom does it mean most to you? From someone that you know, like and respect? From someone you don’t know but like and respect? OR from yourself? Is it a mix of all of these? To some degree, yes! But, chances are your standard of excellence or “good job” is only known to you. The person you don’t want to disappoint is yourself. Accept the “good job” feedback from others but measure it from what you have deemed as the standard you have measured for yourself. You will never have to be surprised by hearing others say “good job.”
