Abby Hue on Substack
When we get really attached to how others will react to our work, we stop focusing on our work and begin to focus on controlling the outcome instead.
I ran towards careers and outward validation to try to outpace the quiet inner knowing that there was a greater calling for me to follow. It’s something we are all familiar with – pretending not to know ourselves as well as we really do;
working in anticipation of what we’ll get in return takes us out of the world of self-trust and back into the never-ending search for reassurance and the perfect outcome. We believe that we need a guarantee, and that the only way to get that guarantee is with external feedback and results. It draws our eye to the mirror instead of the work.
