The Only Validation You Need

How many times are we caught up with wanting external validation? The approval from our peers, our family, our friends? A pat on the back for our hard work? This can become a never-ending quest, as we constantly try to please others and gain their approval. The problem with this approach is that we may end up compromising our own values and beliefs in order to fit in or be accepted. This can be detrimental to our own sense of self and our personal growth.

We should not seek validation or approval from outside sources, but instead find our own sense of worth and validation within ourselves. According to the Yogis, this is key to truly experience happiness.
