Do you need validation from others to feel that what you are doing is right?

While recognition feels good, it should never be something you need to validate your feelings or determine your actions. If you find yourself seeking external approval, it might be a sign that you don’t fully trust yourself yet. Maybe you’re unsure whether your actions truly align with your beliefs, or perhaps you haven’t fully defined those beliefs in the first place.

But here’s the truth: if you don’t have clarity within yourself, how could anyone outside of you provide it for you? Seeking validation externally is like searching for a missing piece of yourself in places it was never meant to be.

You don’t need anything from outside of you. Everything you seek - confidence, clarity, direction - is already within. Sometimes, you just need to slow down and remember that.

Take the time to reflect. Define your own truth. Stand in it with certainty.

Because once you do, validation becomes irrelevant.
