When a person long-term uses achievement, effort, or others' recognition to fill an inner void, what is truly missing is often not success or material possessions, but the love that was not responded to in early years; real transformation occurs when they stop seeking externally, and begin to understand and accept the previously lacking self—emotions are no longer suppressed but seen, compensation no longer happens automatically but becomes a choice, relationships shift from dependency and proof to free connection, and self-worth gradually arises from within; thus, life no longer revolves around being loved and recognized, but is built on self-acceptance and affirmation. Love and effort no longer stem from scarcity but from inner abundance. People also break free from the cycle of constantly compensating for the past, becoming able to exist peacefully and live authentically as themselves.
