On accepting praise

Julia Roberts in the movie pretty woman said that the bad stuff is easier to believe. Seems an odd way to begin, but as I have been working my waythrough this weightless journey, I am finding myself victim to more compliments than I know what to do with. I realize that saying that I AM a victim of praise is like begging someone to give you another compliment. But I suppose that mostly it's because I don't much look at where I am - at least with work - and do not think this is what is wrong with what I did and how can I make it better. Unfortunately, I do the same thing with everything else - so as well as learning to just say Thank you, I need to learn to just say Great Job. I hope though that I am never content to be just where I am - but to always be better.
