Are You Dependent on Others Approval and Validation?

๐€ ๐‚๐Ž๐๐‚๐„๐๐“ ๐Ÿ’ก๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ง... the attention and care and approval youโ€™re desperate to receive from someone else, is exactly what youโ€™re failing to give yourself?

Pause and ruminate on that for a moment.

Did it ring loudly in your ears like it did for me? What a concept, am I right? This notion that every need and desire you crave from another human are the very things you need to give to yourself.

The love.
The affection.
The undivided attention.
The quality time.
The words of affirmation.
The thoughtful gifts.
The acceptance.
The sโ‚ฌx.

All of it can be given to you, by you (๐Ÿคฏ).

When we depend on others to validate us, to love us, to hear us, and to support usโ€”it leads to our demise. We end up in a constant search, lacking fulfillment, always needing more, never feeling like weโ€™re enough, and completely losing ourselves.

And itโ€™s because weโ€™re searching outside ourselves; everything we need can be found looking inward.

You donโ€™t need anyone to give you what you want, you have the means to give it to yourself. And then, when someone else adds to your cup of love, it overflows because itโ€™s already full; as opposed to the empty cup that perpetually drains the minute someone isnโ€™t there to fill it.

Iโ€™m inviting you to take a closer look at what youโ€™re longing for and instead of finding someone else to give it to you, give it to yourself.
