Gift of validation and attention

gift that affordable to you and everyone needs

Everyone including me and you are wired to constantly look for other's approval to feel good about themselves, this is an act of validation. People who rely on approvals they are forever on the mercy of others. we must not rely on others, we must lift ourselves up and happiness should come from within. That is what I believe in, but to be realistic, it feels great to be heard, to listen, to be validated and told that "Yes, you matter to me", that why artist put their work out there to be seen, I put my music out, my friends put out their poems and arts and the rest of the world put their selfies out.

Every time you focus on yourself over others, you tell them they don't matter. How many times you have put down your phone, closed your laptop, or removed your earbuds and gave your full attention to someone and asked to tell me everything about your day today. 

The worse part is that we miss out a lot to see what another person is truly feeling. Give attention, give a gift of validation, everyone matters, everyone has a story to tell. Show them empathy and compassion, most importantly don't judge someone else's experience.
