You may want others to applaud and appreciate, but this will bring you nowhere quickly because ‘others’ cannot be your source of applause and appreciation. I think it is great if it works out that way, yet, since life does not always work the way that we wish, we must learn to look inside for what we need.
Proving Yourself
If you are in a constant litany to prove yourself, who are you? Really? Even if you are young, you cannot and indeed must not spend your time questioning yourself. Even if you do not know who you are, let the things that you do know about yourself be enough for you. Doubting yourself only invites others in – to mold you into what they wish for. This never works out, unless you are already what is wished for.
