You Don�t Need Other People to Validate You

The need for approval kills everything. I should know better. I spent my entire life seeking approval until I realised that it was a waste of time and it didn’t work anyway. The desire to get people to like me motivated the majority of my choices and actions in early life, something I now regret. God gave me a very independent mind and for years this worked against me.

Sometimes being selfish isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I discovered my true self only later in life after deciding to put myself first and not worrying what society thinks of my choices or actions.
