Are you looking for validation? Or maybe you’re looking to improve. You can’t accomplish both. Validation from others will only get you so far and even then, you will not receive the desired validation because you will never be able to please everyone.
But if you focus on improving yourself, whether it’s personal, professional, or even financial, by establishing your weaknesses and expanding your strengths, you will reach your desired goals, you will be able to focus on your opinion and your validation and no one else’s.
We have a saying in my culture “if you spend too much time worrying about what others think, you will never have time to feed yourself.” Read that line again and take a minute to process what it’s saying.
How often do you allow other’s opinions dictate your outcome? Or even worse, stop you from progressing forward because either they don’t think you can make it or they tried it before you and failed. The only validation that matters is YOURS! Act on it and dismiss everything else that inhibits you from taking the next step.
