Let go of the need for external validation from "summary" of Happiness is Free by Lester Levenson,Hale Dwoskin
In order to experience true happiness, it is essential to release the desire for approval and validation from others. When we seek validation externally, we are essentially giving away our power and allowing others to dictate our sense of self-worth. This can lead to a constant cycle of seeking approval from others in order to feel good about ourselves. The truth is, our worth and value come from within, not from external sources. When we let go of the need for external validation, we are able to tap into our own inner source of confidence and self-assurance. This allows us to be free from the opinions and judgments of others, and to live authentically and confidently in our own skin. By releasing the need for external validation, we free ourselves from the burden of constantly seeking approval from others. Instead, we can focus on cultivating self-love and acceptance, knowing that our worth does not depend on the opinions of others. This shift in perspective allows us to live more freely and confidently, without being tethered to the validation of others.- True happiness comes from within, and when we let go of the need for external validation, we are able to access a deep sense of peace and contentment. By embracing our own worth and value, independent of external sources, we are able to live more fully and authentically, embracing our true selves without seeking validation from others.
