we need to love ourselves

If your worth is obtained from constant validation outside of you,
instead of within, you still have work to do. This is okay.
The basic need for recognition, love, safety, and acceptance is hard-wired in us from birth.
If there are one too many failed attempts to receive even the basics as a child,
later on as an adult, you may just slip right into an approval addiction cycle.
Don’t get me wrong, some outside validation is healthy.
It allows you to feel a part of something bigger than yourself.
Nevertheless, if you have no real self worth, this really does nothing for you in the long run.
In turn, you must keep this cycle alive by searching for more and more ways to feel accepted,
whether it is healthy for your soul or not.
At the end of the day, if you can’t find the strength to clap for yourself even once,
no amount of standing ovations outside of you will ever be enough.

 Psalm 90:10-12 (NKJV)
The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
(11) Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
(12) So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
