“If God gave you the vision, he’ll give you the provision.”
Have you ever had an idea or a dream that you thought was so great, you couldn’t keep it off your mind? Then you went to share it with someone you really care about, and they didn’t see what you see?
Did it crush you? Make you doubt yourself? Stop your vision right in its tracks?
I know you’ve been there. We all have.
But you can’t let other people hold you back from your vision. It’s YOUR vision, not theirs. You can’t expect others to support everything you do.
And you can’t expect to live your life by pleasing others. If I lived my life the way my father saw it, I would be a lawyer right now. Maybe successfully, but I highly doubt fulfilled.
I respect those who do that kind of work, but that’s not me.
Live life for you, because it’s your life.
If you feel like you’re being pulled toward something. If it’s all you can think about, and you feel excited to do it when you wake up in the morning - that’s all you need.
The only confirmation and validation you need comes from within you.
I understand you can’t do it alone, and you will need coaches or mentors to help. So surround yourself with people who do support your vision, but accept that not everyone will.
It’s ok. They have their own vision, and it probably doesn’t align with yours.
On this episode of the Redefining Wealth Podcast, I wanted to dive further into why you don’t need validation from others.
There are plenty of great people who didn’t get validation. In fact, the greatest people often were shot down early on in their careers.
And what made them great is that they didn’t stop. They pushed forward with their vision, because they knew the world needed it despite the naysayers.
So download this episode to learn how you can let go of that need for validation, and chase your purpose with the support of the only person that matters - you.
“People know when they are not capable of going with you to the next level.” - Marshawn Evans
The Cliff Notes:
Validation is for parking, not dreams.
Don’t let other people add fire to your fears.
The responsibility to carry a vision relies on you and you alone.
It’s hard to explain an empire state of mind to someone with an employee state of mind.
You can’t expect everyone to see and cheer on your vision.
If you feel called to do it, your calling is your confirmation.
Some people let their fears get in the way of your dreams.
You can’t expect other people to have the capacity to hold your vision for you.
Most people can barely hold on to their own vision.
If everyone around you had the same vision, there would be too much competition.
When someone disagrees with your vision, thank them for sharing and move on to new resources.
All ideas need some work, so be flexible.
Give yourself permission to let go of any validation you think you needed.
“You can not spend your life trying to fit into someone else’s expectations.”

I listened this episode 3 times as I have Sonnet on ma phone. I realized that this was a weakness of mine, where I have a particular vision to do a particular thing and I refrain from doing it cause it sounds crazy or too big to achieve. As I continue to grow and feed from your podcast, I am being helped everyday. Thank you so much Patrice, really appreciate it sis❤

[@johnna3584]

I’ve been going through all of these videos after meeting Patrice at WREIN Live (I’m one of Tresa Todd-Lutgen’s students), and she is sowing into my soul! This is exactly what I need to break through in my personal life and finances and my new REI business. So grateful for her. PS: You have the most beautiful, soothing voice so I don’t even know what that person was talking about!

[@classiql]

Your calling is your confirmation. That's the validation hunty

[@dianeadams9593]

MRS. PATRICE WASHINGTON! YOU BLESS ME EVERY WEEK. In 2004, I had a brain aneurysm, I was 34. This was 3 days after having my daughter. I was active duty military and that was my life. During my recovery and my conversation with God, I asked Him "why me". I heard so audibly "I saved you for a purpose" then He began to drop hints or visions of what that was going to be. I'm grateful for the "partial" vision he has given me. At 49, I have wasted so much of my time waiting on validation and someone to tell me I'm smart enough. So, when you say "God placing the vision in you, is validation enough" was my light bulb moment. Thank you, for walking in your purpose. #walkinginmypurpose

[@CCLVCHRISTINA]

This is what I needed to hear. Thank God 🙌🏾🙌🏾🎉🎉.

[@PatriceWashington]

CCLVCHRISTINA I’m so glad! I love confirmation! 🙌🏾

[@nicolec4609]

I know it's a year later that I'm hearing this, but this is so timely! Thank you!

[@cookingwithromona8022]

Patrice, I have to turn you over to my contacts, you are truly walking in your calling. I have a very strong group of followers and they MUST know that they need to hear about you. Your voice is far from Hideous.

[@latashabrown7579]

This blessed me! Especially the part of if you can’t sleep at night, or if you’re day dreaming about your vision then it is your calling. I know that for sure, sometimes we just need permission ( I don’t know why). I put in my notice at my job (that I hate) so I can fulfill my vision and purpose. I hope to be interviewed by you one day ! One of my crazy 8’s

[@ReturnJaguar]

Will attend one of your conferences, one day. Already proclaiming the best of us will be there.

[@Mscarmajay]

Thank you for sharing my friend send me this because I been struggling seeking validation from my parents but after you said your dad still took time to see it I was like I'm not alone. And if I waste time waiting for validation I'll never get where I want to be. Praying your you and your platform it's amazing and much needed❤

[@trojan4life1000]

For me coming across you my sister i know GOD doesn't make mistakes,I am COMMITTED.

[@classiql]

Interested versus committed...... 💪🏽

[@deelot1]

[@bwin33]

Amazing! Not requiring validation is a powerful thing!

[@alisonlake7119]

Patrice is right on target.

[@dharri14790]

[@dr.violapierce7109]

[@lolagets4205]

Omg sis thank youuuuuuuu❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Bijouincomeboost]

This is just awesome!

[@kendrickharper6485]

Very Encouraging!

[@mildredpeyton2155]

Wow! Another insightful and relatable topic for me. I don't share some visions with others because I don't believe they'll get it, and once I've made up my mind to pursue it, I don't want their opinions to distract me. Also, I understand how you felt about your father not validating your career. My parents are Africans and my father crushed my dream of also becoming an interior designer and fashion stylist/designer. But I laugh about it now and he gets quiet when I tease him about killing that dream. #guilt😀.

[@dontworryaboutit8213]

7:30 *jaw dropped*

[@classiql]

That part

[@BibleNerd22]

I had to Selah on that, "Validation is for parking" joint.

[@classiql]

Commit to the vision not attached to how I get there or someone else's validation or prescence on the way

[@dontworryaboutit8213]

12:30 nah they’re pessimistic especially people comfortable with being an employee.

[@tai4short]

💯💯💯💯💯💯 OMG SO TRUE when I quit job 6 months ago ... My homeboy tried to talk me out of it.. With the whole "the grass aint greener on the other side speech" I was 6 years in the company he was about 12 years in... Working Corrections OVERWORKED & paid just enough to keep you. Require your whole LIFE Everyday 12 -14 hour days... Just alot on you Mentally Emotionally Physically Spiritually ... I never had a job that depleted me in these ways. I said that to say this DO YOU 👉🏾BE THE 0% ... 👉🏾Take the RISK... Either it works for you or You learn from it and now can implement what you learned and Try again. I'm glad I quit my jon I was sooo uncertain but I TRUSTED Myself and now I'm coming to into my purpose.. EVERYTHING IS COMING TOGETHER!!! And I have more money in my bank account than I had at my job... Trust me GOD WILL MAKE A WAY FOR YOU!!!

[@PatriceWashington]

SOTBP Conference We’re working on something virtual for sure. He’s a behind the scenes kinda guy so I’m pushing for him to do more when he’s ready.

[@ReturnJaguar]

thinking ~ u on Aqua Cardinally w/ or for Fearless Conference. It's kind of a rush of how may be involve such as grab bags and how coincidental that it is during Aqua season. Do have plenty your messages "air tattooed".

[@classiql]

And this guy is talking about WHEN I get a real job.......that would hurt.

[@classiql]

Validation is for parking 🅿

❤️❤️❤️

[@rmac8012]

I hoped this doesn't offend you. Maybe he thought you were on tv all the time because you were a pretty face rather than a financial resource that required monetary compensation.
