This lesson had a major shifting effect for me, and it has greatly supplemented my mindfulness journey.
If you ever find yourself struggling with the need for validation from others on a certain decision, pause, take a step back. Remind yourself that you are doing it for you. That this is what you want and you are happy with it.
It is the need for approval that kills your creativity and your art.
I think it is time that we developed a greater sense of self-worth. It’s time we realize how worthy, loved, and valuable we are in our own right. It is not about what we say, do, or what others think about us. That we do not need to ‘perform’ for us to deserve love and attention.
identify the positive emotions that come from performing a certain task and commit to doing the task solely for that emotion.
Hey, Ijo. This comment is it! Literally one of the key things that keep me motivated to get things done.
i thought Art by definition is a derivative of validation whether it is now or in the future. i would call this self confidence.
Haha.. Interesting perspective, Tim
Quick one . What if what you like doing is against the law, against African culture or is offensive to the people around you? will your happiness be more important than the comfort of the society?
