The Importance of Self-Validation

I talk about how growing up, I sought validation from others, but it never happened. I realized that I needed to focus on validating myself, and that's when the validation from others started to come. The moral is that you need to validate yourself, and not look for it in others. You have to be happy and proud of yourself, regardless of what others think.
