Prove what

Fifteen minute chat and two powerful words surfaced "prove myself" and the light bulb didn't just go off it caught fire unable to stop the smile from spreading, I finally understood something I've said before. 'When we learn that we don't need others to cosign on our life then we will begin to live." Well if yesterday's mental wrestling match had not added muscle, I would not have been prepared for today's challenge, nor brave enough to face it alone. If we keep waiting on the approval of others our life will pass us by. I don't know if I have 40 more seconds or 40 more years, but I refuse to spend another moment trying to prove myself. I'm good with my own reflection and don't need to borrow the mirror of others.
