Answer:
This is a core philosophy of mine — "Like yourself first, choose yourself first, so that when you are chosen, it’s confirmation and not validation." Confirmation is very different. It’s a recognition. Yes, you see in me what I see in me. Validation is, you see in me what I do not see in me. And it makes you dependent on validation.
This is counter to what a lot of people expect. They think the external gives them value. That achievement makes them worthy. That attention makes them valued. That something out there decides the extent of their worth.
Nope. I decide my worth. I decide my value. Hard stop. Out there doesn’t and cannot decide my value. I choose me. I love me first.
And I feel safe to achieve, to fail, to make mistakes, to have successes and losses, to be who I am, to be patient and excited about the process. That is the radically content way of life.
Out there doesn’t give me what I need in here, my soul, my heart. I give that to me. And then I have everything I need. The rest is just experience, memories, challenges, and opportunities to grow and know myself and the world around me better.
