Don’t let external validation stop you from chasing your dreams

Yesterday my teenage son was upset and going to stop doing what he loves to do, all because of external pressure and opinions…

Without realizing it, we began to seek external validation for who we are, and we let job titles, degrees, and salaries define who we are. Before we know it, we are experiencing a midlife or midcareer crisis because we are distracted from our dreams and values while seeking external validation!

My favorite topic don’t lose sight of your North Star! And Be Kind to yourselves

🥰oh, my son chose not to let the toxic people affect his life, I am super proud of him!

Don’t lose sight of your North Star!

You must know yourself before you can know who you can become. Stay true to your likes and dislikes, your dreams and values, your desires and needs, and your vision and mission.

Many people have lost sight of their dreams. They have forgotten what lights them up inside. They have let external pressures and opinions drown out the whispers of their hearts.

Don’t let this happen to you! Stay true to yourself. Stay true to your heart. Don’t let anyone or anything make you forget who you are!
