Validation

Do not seek validation. You are the best judge of your own deeds. Seeking validation will make you weak and dependent. It has the power to demotivate and make you do things you don't want to do. It takes a strong person to achieve this but you must strive not to seek validation.

Learn to be your own judge. Learn to do your best at all times. Seek only to be effective and efficient. Seek to only please a higher power than mere humans.
