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...

With all that takes place in our lives, it can sometimes be easy to overlook the fact that we're part of something greater than ourselves, the greater good.  Because of our tendency to forget this, we might make decisions in our lives that don't reflect that responsibility that comes with this belonging.
