Succeeding without Validation x Zhara. J
★¤★
As humans, we all have dreams and aspirations that we want to pursue. Whether it's a career goal, a personal passion, or a lifestyle change, following our dreams can be a daunting task, especially when we feel the need for validation from others.
Gem, it’s natural to seek approval and support from those around us, but it's important to remember that our dreams belong to us and us alone. The thing is, when we rely too heavily on the validation of others, we risk losing sight of what truly matters. We may find ourselves compromising on our values, settling for less than we deserve, or simply giving up on our dreams altogether. This is why it's so important to learn how to follow our dreams without seeking validation from others. Our peace of mind and integrity count on it.
The first step in following your dreams without validation is to develop a strong sense of self-awareness. This means taking the time to reflect on your values, passions, and goals. What is it that you truly want in life? What are you willing to sacrifice to achieve it? When you have a clear understanding of what you want, it becomes easier to stay focused and motivated, even when others try to dissuade you.
Another important aspect is learning to trust yourself. It's easy to doubt our abilities, especially when others don't believe in us. But the truth is, we are capable of achieving great things if we’re willing to put in the work. Gem, believe in yourself and your abilities, and don't let the opinions of others hold you back. That’s only a disservice to your character, and like we always tell you here at SheIsTreasure, you deserve better.
I know I remind you of this a lot, but it's important to surround yourself with supportive people who will encourage and uplift you on your journey. While it's not necessary to seek validation from others, having a strong support system can make all the difference. Find people who share your values and passions, and who will support you even when times get tough. I’m aware that connecting and networking with people who genuinely care and aren’t constantly self-consumed is rare. However, those types of people still exist and are out there, so don’t give up on finding your tribe.
In conclusion, following your dreams without validation is not always easy, but it is possible. You can do this! By developing a strong sense of self-awareness, trusting yourself, and surrounding yourself with supportive people, you can pursue your dreams with confidence and determination. Remember, your dreams belong to you, and you alone. Don't let the opinions of others hold you back from achieving your goals.
Sending you immense love as you achieve your goals and chase your dreams. -Zhara. J
