When our lives go spinning out of control, it’s often the result of a loss of personal power. Losing touch with our hopes, courage, and confidence can go a long way in undermining our happiness. This occurs when we sacrifice pieces of ourselves in return for the validation of others. The only validation in the world that matters is our own. We are the only ones who have the ability to find value and worth in ourselves and our lives. Stop giving your personal power away to other people. Only you can take it back and reclaim it as your own.
