Let go of the need for external validation to find true fulfillment from "summary" of Personality Isn't Permanent by Benjamin Hardy
The idea that external validation is necessary for fulfillment is a common misconception. Many people believe that they need approval from others in order to feel satisfied with their lives. This belief is rooted in a lack of self-awareness and an external locus of control. When individuals tie their sense of worth to the opinions of others, they give away their power and limit their potential for growth and self-fulfillment. True fulfillment comes from within. It is not dependent on the approval or validation of others. When individuals let go of the need for external validation, they free themselves from the constraints of seeking approval from others. Instead of looking outside themselves for validation, they learn to trust their own judgment and intuition. This shift in mindset allows them to focus on their own values, goals, and desires, rather than seeking validation from external sources. By letting go of the need for external validation, individuals can cultivate a sense of self-worth that is independent of external factors. They can develop a strong sense of self and confidence in their own abilities. This self-assurance allows them to pursue their passions and dreams without being held back by the fear of judgment or disapproval from others. When individuals stop seeking validation from external sources, they are able to tap into their true potential and live authentically. They are no longer constrained by the need to please others or conform to external expectations. Instead, they can focus on what truly matters to them and find fulfillment in pursuing their own path.- Letting go of the need for external validation is essential for finding true fulfillment.
