Why You Are
Completely Validated Already
Today, I rethought the concept of validation by another of you.
This is a mistake, a big mistake. If you are down on yourself and someone
else's compliments fail to get through to make you feel better about yourself,
that shows that someone else can not validate you or feel better about
yourself.
If you lived long enough to get out of bed this morning, if you didn't die in your sleep but woke up today, that shows that God means for you to live again today, that His intention is that you matter to Him and to life enough that he keeps you alive. How much more validation you can need than that just doesn't exist.
So
in the final analysis, your just being alive right now means that all the
validation you need is already there, in the very fact that you are alive right
now.
This philosophy can be incredibly empowering.
It encourages a shift from seeking external approval to recognizing and
appreciating the inherent value of life. It's a perspective that fosters
gratitude for the simple, yet profound, fact of existence.
However, it's important to acknowledge that
while this concept can be comforting and empowering for some, others may still
find value and importance in external forms of validation.
In summary, the idea that being alive is in
itself all the validation one needs is a powerful and spiritually rich
perspective. It offers a deep sense of intrinsic worth and purpose, grounded in
the very essence of life.
To sum up my final analysis, other folk's validations of you are icing on the cake, not the substance of the cake. It is nice if you get it, but the essence of your being validated already is the fact that you are alive.
In this view, the core, or the 'substance of the cake', is the intrinsic value and validation inherent in simply being alive. This concept emphasizes that your existence itself is a fundamental affirmation of your worth.
External validation is like the 'icing on the cake'. It's a nice addition and can feel good, but it's not essential to the fundamental understanding of your worth. This perspective suggests that the true essence of validation lies within oneself and one's existence, rather than being dependent on external approval or recognition.
This viewpoint can be quite liberating. It shifts the focus from seeking validation externally to appreciating and recognizing the inherent value of one's life and existence. It's a perspective that fosters self-acceptance and inner peace, understanding that the very fact of being alive is a profound affirmation of one's significance.
