Validation

Does it matter, validation? If you’re satisfied within If you’ve given of yourself, There’s no contest to win Yet, most want validation Insecurities abound Though unique, we’re often fragile Sometimes lost until we’re found Some don’t need validation They have learned or always knew That all of us are works of art Perhaps then, I’ll learn too

A gem, a real gem! Resonates so with me, as I wake up thinking that I don't need validation, but by evening am almost begging for it! Perfect! ~ gw

Everyone feels good with validation...those who don't need it are self actualized people...hard to get there. Potent thoughts Mike!

It's only when you reach a certain age that any insecurities you had growing up fall by the wayside.You realise that you don't need validation and that we are all indeed works of art.
