Do you find yourself worrying about what others think of you or trying desperately to impress them? If so, STOP! Don’t waste your time fretting over what others think of you. Stop looking for validation from other people and stop it now! Do not waste another second brooding over who thinks what of you.
If you are so preoccupied with what your boss, girlfriend/boyfriend, neighbor, or family members think of you, you will always be in a position where someone can hurt you. Being too vulnerable because you are so concerned with others’ judgements can be detrimental. The potential for someone to ruin your day if they say something wrong, don’t notice you, or don’t give you the attention you want is very high.
Stop looking for validation from others and be confident in validating yourself. Self-validation will bring about recognition from others. If you focus on working on yourself and impressing yourself, I guarantee you others will notice.
Stop making excuses and start making progress in your life. You can do it, but it must come from you. It can’t come from anyone else. Developing the ability to determine your own happiness and success based on your definition of it is the only way for you to truly be happy. Remember, your success is never an accident!
