When you are trying really hard to make something happen but no matter what you do it seems impossible, have you heard someone (who obviously cares a lot about you) say, "you don't need to prove anything to anyone..."!
But what if it's not anyone else...what if it's you all along!
You have to prove to yourself that you can do it, that you've still got it, that you can make it work!
I am a huge believer in personal pep talk. I can talk myself into many things, and after sometime I can actually "see" myself doing many things...it's not anyone else, it's me. And then the path to get to where I "see" myself being, is clear. It might be tough, very very tough but it's clear.
Though I didn't know this all long... the validation from others was such a BIG deal until at some point I learnt to live without it and then it didn't matter. Because that validation came in the form of a job well done - as per my expectations and my blood, sweat and tears...
So if you are reading this - give your self a pep talk, it doesn't have to be more than a few minutes...but it has to be YOU!! Cause you need to believe in you first :-)
