do you need validation for your opinion/idea to be a valid one?

Has it already happened to you that...

- You are talking to or having a conversation with people over dinner and you wait for someone else to agree with your opinion to feel (more) confident about it?

- You write a text or email and verify Google 10.000x to see if someone else said/wrote something similar in the past you can copy instead of writing your own?

- You have an idea but don’t create it because you think it doesn’t matter or is stupid. Then you see someone else creating something very similar and so many people relate to it and love it?

Isn’t it funny how we need something external to tell us “yes this is good enough” for us to believe it? Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could just turn inward and tell ourselves “yes this is good enough”, and believe it?
