This is something I've been grappling with the past few months. I keep getting into situations or mindsets, and I keep struggling with the answer, as I'll see both sides as being the right answer.

How do I know I'm living my life according to this verse, and not just what I think could be the right answer? I keep realizing even my best attempts are terrible, and most of the time they feel no different.

How do you guys align yourself in this direction? Any tips or general guidelines? I'm honestly tired of living to be validated by other people, but. I don't think disappearing into the woods is the option. But at the same time, it's the only place I see myself successfully not seeking validation.
