"ONLY ONE LIFE so live it"

I'm sure many of us can relate to spending too much time and energy worrying about what others think of us.
The choices we make about who our friends are, what job we like to do, all aspects of our life constantly scrutinised by others.
But at the end of the day, the only opinions that truly matter are our own.
No matter how much gossip, judgment or criticism comes our way, it won't pay a single one of our expenses or add any real value to our lives, right?
So can we agree to stop seeking validation from others and start validating ourselves.
We don't need anyone's approval to follow our dreams, speak our truths and walk our own paths.
Our worth isn't defined by the opinions of strangers, friends or family - it comes from within.
This is our reminder to tune out the noise, lift our heads high and keep living according to our own rules. Our light shines brightest when we stop trying to dim it for others. Stay strong, and never let someone else's narrow view of you become your reality!
How much can you sacrifice to make someone else happy?
And if someone is unhappy or dissatisfied how unworthy do you feel?
How much does a look of pride or one of disgust intuitively lead you to feel a certain way?
This starts as children.
We are raised to pick up on these cues, especially as women.
And the more sensitive you are the more you pick up on.
No one has to say anything, a woman is born already "knowing" this is her duty, to make sure everyone else around her is happy, healthy, and satisfied.
It's not a bad thing to help others, but often we don't realize it is at the expense of our own health.
Remember, your true authentic self isn't tied to anyone else.
It doesn't make you a bad wife, mother, friend, etc to take care of yourself.
In fact, if you don't make yourself a priority, everything is going to fall apart sooner than later. Practice loving yourself today.
Put some effort into making yourself happy, healthy and satisfied, then that emanates outwards to your family.
You've only one life, get to living it my friends.
