When you're desperate for attention, validation, love, or acceptance, you can start making decisions that don't align with who you are or where you're going. Eric Thomas warns against allowing temporary wants to override your values and your future. Know who you are. Know what you stand for. And don't sacrifice what you NEED because you're thirsty for something you WANT. Your standards aren't holding you back. They're protecting you. #EricThomas #Motivation #SelfWorth #Relationships #Standards #Discipline #CollegeMotivation #PersonalGrowth #Shorts
