I need Validation

Why do we worry about what people say or think about us? In life many people claim to say that they don’t care what others say about them as a person, however in life it seems that we always need a form of validation. Validation wants approval from others; the thing that wants this validation is your ego. The ego needs attention, and has the potential of feeling let down when it gets negative attention. Many times others judge you to make their ego feel superior; in life everyone at some point in time has made someone else feel less than the other. It would be so much better if we validated ourselves and that was enough to energize our spirits to do more. Another thing that would be helpful if we did encourage one another to do greater things, by doing that we will have the opportunity to inspire each other to make change in our individual lives.
