Freedom on the inside comes when validation from the outside doesn’t matter.

About This Quote

Freedom on the inside comes when validation from the outside doesn’t matter. We all want recognition for our work and want to be looked up to by others; we all want to be loved and appreciated. But in order for us to truly receive these things, we must give up control of them. It is not about what others think of us, but what we think of ourselves. The only way we can achieve true freedom is by letting go of our need for validation from the outside.
