Quit putting how you feel about yourself, your mood, your value in someone else’s hands. The Scripture says, “Build yourself up.” Don’t rely on other people to affirm, to approve, to validate you. Approve of yourself. When you’re trying to get your approval, your validation from other people, you’re at their mercy. If they’re having a bad day, they’re upset, mad at their spouse, you’re not going to get what you were hoping for. But when you learn to build yourself up, what they give or don’t give doesn’t affect you. You already know who you are. You don’t need other people to keep you fixed; you fixed yourself. You encouraged yourself. You complimented yourself. You approved yourself. This is a powerful way to live. Nobody else is controlling your mood, controlling your self-worth. You’ve taken control.
