Validate Who YOU Are!

Ask yourself: Do you look for people to validate you?

Putting yourself in that position gives other people permission to control your life!

You don’t need other people’s validation – to tell you what to do, how to behave, what to like.

I know it’s easier said than done, because I am a reformed “validatee” – secretly hoping and wising people would like me, trying to be a people pleaser. I had to learn many lessons and pass many test for this. Got a diploma hanging on the wall to prove it! I had to come to the realization that I am most powerful just being original, operating how God truly designed me to be. , I decided to take a stand and said that if people didn’t like me, it was okay. I wasn’t going to change my personality for anyone.

I have no doubt that I this may come off as arrogant to some, but it is not arrogance, it is confidence. I have confidence in who I am, and who God called me to be. You have to take the same mind frame with people in your surroundings. When you search and yearn for that validation can end up in a world of hurt.

If you have to play that type of game in order to keep people close, you’ll end up losing you – your sense of purpose and your authenticity – and eventually, you’ll lose them because they were never really with you in the first place.

Your job is to let them go, so you can do you, as God has called you to do.

HE is the only validation that you need! Period.
