You can get validated two ways--externally or internally.
Internal validations come from the Holy Ghost.
You can never get enough of external validations and they can be taken from you in a minute.
It should matter more to you how the Lord sees you than how the world sees you.
M. Russell Ballard said,
"The unquestionable reality is that you control how close you
are to the Lord. You determine just how clear and readily
available promptings from the Holy Ghost will be."
(Daughters of God, pg. 58)
"One of the remarkable qualities about God's love for us is that
not only do we experience it as validating and affirming, but it
also produces growth and change in us. It literally moves us forward, toward Him and our own eventual exaltation. It is a sculpting,
correcting, and purposeful kind of love."
Virginia H. Pearce(A Heart Like His: making Space for God's Love in Your Life, pg. 53)
