It has no value.
Yet, every day we give it value. We think it makes us feel good. That it gives us comfort. In our minds, it makes our work worth the time and effort.
However, this is false.
There is no value in reassurance. Instead, it merely distracts us from doing work we find important. Distracts us from making change. Distracts us from being generous. Distracts us from connecting.
Instead of seeking reassurance, just create.
The rest will take care of itself.
