I definitely need to work on that specific point. I tend to look for validation from others in what I'm doing and also to compare myself to other people around, like seeing where they are in life relative to their age and mine...

Yeah, I definitely need to stop worrying about that :)

I'm reading an outstanding book that addresses this issue. It's called "Your Erroneous Zones" by Wayne Dyer. The general theme of the book is "Break Free from Negative Thinking".
