Live authentically without seeking external validation from "summary" of Daring to Take Up Space by Daniell Koepke
The idea of living authentically without seeking external validation is about being true to ourselves regardless of other people's opinions or judgments. It's about finding our own inner compass and following it, even when it goes against the grain of societal norms or expectations.
When we seek external validation, we give away our power to others. We allow them to dictate how we should live our lives, what choices we should make, and who we should be. This can lead to a never-ending cycle of trying to please others and constantly seeking approval and validation from outside sources.
Living authentically means honoring our own values, beliefs, and desires. It means trusting ourselves and our own judgment, even when it's difficult or unpopular. It requires courage and self-awareness to tune out the noise of external opinions and listen to the quiet voice within us that knows what is right for us.
When we live authentically, we are able to make decisions that align with our true selves. We are more confident and empowered because we are no longer dependent on others for approval or validation. We are able to live with integrity and authenticity, knowing that we are being true to ourselves.
It's important to remember that seeking external validation is a natural human tendency, but it's a trap that can prevent us from living our best lives. By practicing self-awareness, self-love, and self-acceptance, we can break free from the need for external validation and live authentically on our own terms.
