You don’t have anyone in your corner? You have you. Be your own cheer squad. We go through life expecting recognition and validation from others to make us feel good. 

We rely on awards and certificates to tell us how far we’ve come and how much we’ve accomplished. Without those things, what are we? 

Without the cheer from the crowd, did we really score that goal? 

Without a standing ovation from the audience, what good was the performance? 

But before all that, before the glitz and the glam, before the flashing lights and the paparazzi, you’re the only one who really needs to be there cheering for your wins. 

No one can celebrate you like you can. And what a shame it would be to live all your life hoping that others see the lights that shines so brightly in you.
