Transcript
00:00My aspects of life, I feel like I'm always chasing validation.
00:03The problem is not that we go and seek validation from others.
00:07The problem is that we have a broken relationship with ourselves.
00:11We keep talking of relationships.
00:13We don't talk of the first, most fundamental, most important relationship.
00:17All your life, you have to live basically with yourself.
00:20Even when you are with others, have you not experienced loneliness?
00:23You might be surrounded, you might be in a crowd and still there is loneliness.
00:27Not experience that?
00:28All that happens when you are not talking a lot to yourself.
00:32Others should not become easy substitutes.
00:36Others, how will they ever know you beyond a point?
00:38I'm not saying you must not take others' opinions or feedbacks.
00:41That's alright.
00:42But the primary judge must sit within.
00:45You need not look at yourself through others' eyes.
00:48The inner eye must be one's own.
00:50When the inner eye is missing, then the outer eye keeps roving.
00:54Can you please certify that I'm talking sense?
00:57Can you please attest that I'm not an idiot?
