I tend to seek appreciation in whatever I do. How to get rid of this?

Question -Gurudev, I tend to seek appreciation in whatever I do. How to get rid of this?

Gurudev Sri Sri - You came to know about this, that itself is one step ahead. Now, make a determination that you don't care whether someone appreciates or not. 'Let me do what I need to do, and not worry about others'. That is it, then you will gain the strength needed.
