Throughout life's journey, I have found that feeling a sense of empowerment and validation from others has not always been a given. Often, I have felt as though those two very important words have been a constant struggle to obtain.
Often, empowerment and validation have been something I have had to routinely request. It wasn’t easily offered up when I needed it the most. To this day, I often find myself asking questions, and expecting validation in return, such as “How does that sound? Or what does that look like?” Now usually it’s when I’m writing a piece. But that’s okay. Everyone could use an editor.
However, sometimes I’m baffled when I hear people say, “I don’t need validation.” Well, okay, but sometimes we get so caught up in what we don’t need, we often forget what we do. The truth is, we all need to feel validated and empowered. And unfortunately, we may not always feel empowered or validated by friends and family, so, it is important. that we always find the time to validate and empower ourselves.
So, I encourage you today, to take some time to lift your fellow brothers and sisters and let them know that they are worthy of validation and empowerment. And rest assured, your encouraging words will go a long way.
