Why you need to stop seeking outside validation

[poppytaylor]

Best quote I ever heard was “A friend to all is a friend to none and certainly not a friend to oneself”

[sowl]

I agree . Seeking others validation means Living in another person perspective which is an invisible prison no one talks about.

To a certain extent. Of course, everything is. Don't just shelter yourself from all criticism. First try to accept nice criticism, then move on to trying to extract the "how you can improve" from insults. Even if it is a minute improvement, good. You've benefitted.

Needing outside validation leaves you vulnerable to manipulation as well as doing behaviors that may please your audience but makes you feel shitty inside and you got to be good with you in order for you to do great things just my take on what was said..

A lot of value here, validation comes from within! Excited to drop our podcast soon.

The most important opinion about you in the world is your own. Of course we should consider other people's opinions. However, in the end it has to be our own opinion that directs our actions. To live otherwise is to be disingenuous and a slave.

I want to help more people. If you believe this video is right, read this. ☯️
The idea of focusing only on your internal world makes sense, but it’s too idealistic. Most people go through a natural journey: they start by seeking external validation, then realize the importance of satisfying their own inner needs. But as social beings, we can’t completely avoid the desire for recognition—especially from those we’re attracted to. External validation plays a real role in mental and emotional well-being.

The real wisdom lies in balance—allowing both internal fulfillment and external validation to coexist. Just like yin and yang, seemingly opposite forces can actually support each other. That’s the path to a more grounded and sustainable sense of self.

I love how the other people there are all suited up and he’s just being himself wearing his hat backwards and in comfortable clothes

[MereMortalsBookReviews]

Totally - Over worry from what anyone else is thinking can be so detrimental

[SurfingwithBen]

I like that people are dressed up and Gary wears a t-shirt and a hat on backwards.

My man Gary is the only one who hasn't eaten yet, too busy speaking the truth!! And also probably talking about NFTs!

[benjaminrohrbacher]

The place where you ignore the needs of the world around you and imput as to the quality of your direction from everybody but me is the right one

I can't watch Garyvee without seeing that guy who does impression of him.

You don’t need anyone’s approval or permission. Stop overthinking to the point of not taking any action. Get out there and start making stuff happen. Wanna build a brand? Put out content. Wanna start a business? Take that first step. Wanna apply for that certain job? So do it .

Facts! I had to live alone in the mountains to learn that

Great comment, Gary, about not seeking validation!
