Focus: "What you keep seeking outside is waiting to be awakened inside."
1. External validation fades; self-validation lasts.
2. You are your own anchor in a world that keeps shifting.
3. No one else can give you the wholeness you've been missing.
4. Look inward for approval—it's the only kind that truly matters.
5. Dependence on others for worth leaves you powerless.
6. You already are what you're trying to prove.
7. What you seek in others, you must first find in yourself.
8. You don't need saving—you need remembering.
9.Your worth is not up for public opinion.
10.Trusting yourself is the highest form of self-respect.
Explanation:
This chapter invites you to stop looking outward for things only you can give yourself—love, approval, security. When you become your own source, you are no longer shaken by rejection or neglect. You remember that you are enough, exactly as you are.
