When you feel needy or unsure of your Abilities, these feelings can lead you to search for Validation and approval from your friends, family and coworkers.  Your triumphs and successes, however, may seem less than personally fulfilling if you are unable to find value and satisfaction in your achievements.  Believing in yourself may dispel your need for outside approval and allow you to take more pleasure in your innate abilities and accomplishments.  Developing your confidence can inspire you to strive for goals that might otherwise seem out of your reach.  Your self-assurance can help you make life-changing decisions without needing to consult others.

Believing in yourself can give you the confidence to be the person you truly are.  Though it can be tempting to seek validation from others, only you know what is best for you.  When you believe in yourself, you naturally affirm your value and treat yourself with love and respect.  This gives you the power to positively affect your life because you are driven to look for new opportunities and to recognize blessings when they come.  Self-doubt is no longer able to influence your decisions or actions.  Choosing to accept that you are capable, lovable and destined for success creates a state of mind that compels you to unconsciously make each statement a reality.  Believe in yourself and you’ll thrive on the simple, authentic validation that can only come from you.
