Getting praise from others feels nice, but it's not always there when you need it. People change their minds a lot and are usually busy with their own stuff. It is better to feel good about yourself without needing others to tell you. A great read and good reminder.
This cut deep. Validation is like steroids. You really do not want to get addicted. I have learned from this episode to do me. The world would come around when it is a success. It sad that only success attracts right? But ain’t we attracted to success too? We must learn to be motivated from within. That would keep us going through thick and thin. Thank you so much for this episode Odinakachi. It meant a lot to me!
Internal validation is more rewarding and long lasting than external validation.
Great post, Odinakachi!

You’ve put it so aptly well.
