Seeking for External Validation

The recipe for disaster

As human beings, the desire to be accepted by others is deeply ingrained within us. From a young age, you seek validation and approval from your family, friends, and society at large. It is only natural to crave a sense of belonging and recognition, as you navigate through life's complexities.

However, there exists a delicate balance between seeking external validation and accepting ourselves for who we truly are. Too often, you find yourself making choices not because they align with your personal values and passions, but solely to gain acceptance from others. you mold yourself to fit into predetermined societal molds, sacrificing your authenticity along the way.

Yet, ironically, it is when you dare to embrace your true selves and pursue unconventional paths that you often find the greatest praise and recognition. By staying true to our passions, even if they deviate from the norm, you unleash our unique talents and gifts. This authenticity captures the attention and admiration of others, leading to a genuine appreciation for our accomplishments.

The journey towards self-acceptance is not without its challenges. It means making choices that align with our values, even if they are met with skepticism or disapproval from others.

When you prioritize self-acceptance over external validation, you become liberated from the constant need for approval. You free yourselves from the confines of societal expectations, cultivating a deep sense of self-worth and inner peace.

However, don’t dismiss the significance of human connection and the impact of recognition from others. The praise and awards you receive for authentically pursuing your dreams can be incredibly validating. They serve as reminders that our unique perspectives and contributions are valued and appreciated by those around us.

Ultimately, the key lies in finding a balance between seeking external validation and accepting ourselves. You should strive to align your actions with your own passions and values while remaining open to the encouragement and recognition of others. By doing so, you can embark on a fulfilling journey of self-discovery, where our authenticity is celebrated and our accomplishments are acknowledged.
