I quote from Spencer Tracy:
It is up to us to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to come from others, we feel resentful when it doesn't, and when it does, we may well reject it.
We should always reward ourselves if we've identified that we've made a personal breakthrough. Look at yourself through your own eyes, and not through other eyes.
The reason is quite simple. Those "other" eyes do not belong to you. You'll never be able to see what they are seeing, so why bother trying? How would you also know if the recognition given to you is real?
Give yourself encouragement for a job well done. Motivate yourself to continue learning. Sometimes, that's the only way to keep yourself going. Try not to fall into the "resentment" trap. It is a vicious cycle, and is of no help to anyone.
