One must focus on being whole within oneself rather than constantly comparing one's own life to others or relying on external validation.

“it's just like really honing in on making yourself happy figuring out what it is that you need and not comparing or always looking at something else because if we do that I just feel like you'll never be happy and you'll never be satisfied”

An internal critic can stem from adopting unrealistic standards set by parents, leading to a constant, unfulfilling search for external validation.

“but that inner voice that used to be his became my own inner voice so now like it it becomes this sort of inner critic that when I go platinum it's like it doesn't do it maybe double Platinum will maybe triple oh you how much money did you make ten oh maybe 11 million will make you feel good”

Chris Appleton argues that individuals must stop seeking validation from others and confront their true selves to achieve genuine happiness.

“I think one of the biggest things I realized about any relationship I've been into or go into is the importance of alignment. And I think for a long time I didn't have that. And I think finding that within myself has been special.”

An individual's self-worth should not be based on outside metrics like public opinion, fame, or material success.

“I stopped reading what people were writing I stopped reading reviews and I make art because I love it and when you do that and you come from a pure genuine place that is where happiness lies and fulfillment lies in the creative process”

It is important to be compassionate towards oneself and embrace imperfections rather than striving for an unattainable standard of perfection.

“I hope no one thinks that, but I I just don't ever want to be that kind of public figure. I want to be someone that hopefully could be a friend that could just de-disarm you from the celebrity-esque part of it.”

People resonate more with an individual's weaknesses and struggles than their perceived strengths.

“I know it's sadistic, bro, but people identify with our weaknesses far more than our strengths.”

True courage is found in being vulnerable about one's brokenness and sharing it with trusted people and God.

“The only way I come out of that is realizing that I literally was designed and made by a God who wants me in all my brokenness and I can I can fully bring that to him and then by doing so gives me courage to bring it to the people that are closest to”

Lilly Singh believes that identifying and pragmatically addressing one's internal flaws is the most effective way to practice true self-love.

“I think that's what self-care is. I think that's what self-love is. It's about looking those nasty habits and thoughts and beliefs you have right in the eye and being like, I don't hate you for having this, but we're going to work on this, you know?”
