“As long as you look for someone else to validate who you are by seeking their approval, you are setting yourself up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself. No one can give you that. You have to know who you are—what others say is irrelevant.”
When Nic wrote this it reminded me of something the writer Annie Lamott said that has helped me. She suggests that we try not to compare our insides with other people’s outsides. It can look as if everyone else is doing great – they’re sailing along – but no one sails along.
