Everyone is looking for validation from the outside world. no matter who you are and what you become, no matter "how much you believe in yourself" , nothing makes you feel as secured and sure about yourself and about what you are doing, as does acceptance from the people around us. And by that I don't mean only friends and family, but people in general...the greater the number of people appreciating us/our deeds, the better we feel about ourselves/what we do. So then I guess believing in yourself holds only till you complete whatever you have at hand, against opposition, with only this one thought that what you are doing is right. But how do you define right.
Princeton defines right as correct: free from error; especially conforming to fact or truth;
Now, if right is only that, which is fact and truth, then why would there be any opposition or the categorical and emphatic need to believe in yourself? Maybe because right is also something beyond truth & fact. Its your own personal belief, and foresight and loads of other things as well. And that is why the definition of right differs for every individual. And also because at times for reasons of their own, people oppose what they know is right.
So you believe in yourself, in what you think is right, and do that. And yet, the main driving force, for most of the people most of the times, is that in the end others would see things their way. and Validate them. In the end, we just need others to agree with us, thats all that matters.
Strange...I think I just went around a roundabout...didn't I?!!!
