You Don't Need It

As much as new year resolutions have become a cliche, we still make them. We still set goals and make plans for the new year and there is nothing wrong with that.
Here's what there is something wrong with: waiting for someone else to validate your goals.
You don't need it.

For instance, if you set a plan to own a house by the end of the year, you don't need someone to tell you it is not practical since you are not making a steady income.
You don't need it.

But the reality is that we want it. In fact, as humans, we crave validation and approval.
But the truth is that we don't always get it. We don't always have people in our lives who prioritize our interests. Even if they do, they are human and have their own ish to deal with.

Instead: pray, set your goals, pray some more, make your plans, do your best, and leave the rest to God.
Don't wait for someone else to say they like what you are doing or that you are doing good.

Plis dear, find your validation in God.7
