The web of relationships is intricate and before you know it, your inner peace begins to depend on external validation. Seeking approval to cultivate your own identity becomes vital to your well-being.
Ground your sense of self-worth
in your own values, not in the opinion of others. This does not mean you let go
of relationships. It only means you respect who you are and your faith in
yourself does not get shaken each time someone chooses to disrespect you. Your
value for yourself comes from within you.
And external validation also
gives others power over you. You need to reclaim that power and keep it with
yourself.
Are you living in alignment with
your own values and principles? If you are, that is all the confidence you
need. All the validation you need.
Your life will get stuck if you
don’t actually walk the path. Life will always have challenges but if truth be
told, if you take charge of your life, you will be surprised how much you can
achieve.
We are so much more than our minds and intellect, our ego and our sub conscious. That one consciousness that watches our lives as witness consciousness is what we need to satisfy. It is the weighing scale that balances us if we are aware of it. Many aren’t, unfortunately.
Living a life replete with self-created toxicity and negativity will just
amount to a wasted life where we could have become brilliant versions of
ourselves but got stuck in a quagmire in which we became so comfortable that we
never thought we should extricate ourselves to find ownership of ourselves.
Overcome your own person rather
than someone else, which comes out of thinking others are better. Not true. Self-doubt
is a big culprit.
No one really cares as much as
you think they do. They are busy dealing with their own challenges, their
negativities.
Think! How much have you feared
the criticism and judgement of others and have tried to fit into a mould
someone else created for you!
When will you have the courage to
pursue something meaningful just for yourself?
