As a normal warm-blooded human being, I am not ashamed to say that I crave "attention" and "validation" just like any other normal human being. Everyone does. What makes us different is if we have mastered the way to lower our need for human validation by increasing our trust that none of our deeds goes unnoticed and unrewarded by Allah. Then we would do every single small and big thing, all minute and collossal deed with great sincerity - because we would like to redeem our rewards only from The only One capable of the best rewards, Allah.
Have I achieved such things?
No.
I actually feel that it is nearly impossible if not somehow "undesirable" for me. This is worrisome :(
Why? Because that means my iman is very low and at the point of suffering. My iman is sickly and suffering. Because to seek human validation means to suffer. Because humans are weak and do very little validating.
Sigh.
I need motivation and reminder....
