Over the past two days I've been fortunate enough to have been able to attend training on business and project management. Whilst the training over both days was excellent - what struck me more was the positive energy in the room. I was reminded again of just how nice it can be to meet new people with similar interests. If your lucky enough to have people around you - or in your life - that share your values or have a similar world view (or even if they don't see things quite as you do - they find you interesting enough to enjoy your space/company) then consider for a moment the impact that has on you as a person.
Does having the validation of others provide security? - security that you're okay? Does knowing that you have the support of others fill you with confidence to fulfil your aims, or achieve your goals? - If the answer to that is yes - What then if they weren't there??
What if tomorrow you woke up and no one agreed with you? - no one around you shared your view of the world - struggled to fully comprehend anything you had to say? - what then? Would you keel over and die??( figuratively speaking of course) does the thought fill you with absolute terror?? - send a shiver down your spine?? or - maybe - just maybe - you quite like the idea!!
Perhaps - we pay too much importance on the need for the validation of others ( Have a feeling my Coach might agree with that!)
There's saying that if someone can make you happy - then equally - they can make you unhappy. Your well being is too important for anyone to control - other than you.
Yet were only human - and it's in our design - our DNA - that we care - want to be loved - understood - cared for - protected
But it's not easy - and at times - just not even possible
Yesterday and today was a ray of light - small - but no less significant
In a world with a population of over 6,884,909,953, they don't all need to get you.
A room filled with 20 people - they don't all have to like you.
A conversation with two people they don't both need to understand
Sometimes it only takes 1.
