Never Seek Validation


“A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.”
― Vernon Howard

A validation seeker is more often than not a destiny loser. To seek validation or approval for your work and creativity is to dilute your spark. Be original, be real and just do your thing. Create and produce your works at your highest levels and try to be the best in anything your heart might have chosen for you.

Live your life on your terms and do exactly what it is that you intend to do. Never allow the voice of the next man to rob of you off your passion and greatness. Make it your practice to run as far away as possible from destiny distorters. The sad thing is that some of these people actually wish you their very best and have very good intentions for your progress only if it is line with what they think is best for you. Take three steps backwards from such persons.

Really, what is the point of mixing-up another man’s negativity into your work? That work will cease to be real and will lack the flow expected from an original soul. Thank God Jesus never sought validation from anyone. He knew exactly who He was and acted accordingly. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to adopt His style.

The point is this- you don’t need to tell or beg or cajole people to tell you who you are and what you capable of achieving or otherwise. Step out in boldness and create your work to the best of your ability and creativity. Your identity is in Christ.

Empty Yourself.

“Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.” Christian D. Larson God is dominant in the life of each one of us. Therefore, it is our earthly duty to unveil and showcase that part of Him that most resonate our beings. It is not an error that you are here breathing and reading this at this very moment but a carefully orchestrated plan designed by the Master Craft. You are not a mistake, but a product of grace and mercy, most especially created for a unique and peculiar purpose, a purpose that is most attached with making this world a better place and having a deep reverential communion with the Father. That which we can only realize by surrounding ourselves with His presence and bowing down to His voice. You are here to empty yourself of all the goodies- dreams, passions, visions, strengths- that has been installed in you by the great and merciful hands of God. Let’s not forget what we are, an imag

What Exactly Are You Building?

Image
“It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; it’s the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.” David Allan Coe Anything worth building requires patience, persistence, perseverance and dedication. These attributes must be maintained and properly aligned if we must give our building what it truly needs- a firm foundation. What exactly is your life about and what daily investments are you making for the future? It is better by far that we constantly seek answers to these mind-boggling questions even as we make attempts at working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Life will be meaningless and true happiness will be nothing but a mirage if we are not consciously building something of value for our future. The future is right now, at this present moment and not something to look forward to, else, we may miss out in life by building a structure that we will never see completed. A wise man once said that the best preparation for tomorrow
