Does it Count if Other People Help? (Day 2)

So today I had a "rock ceremony" where people go around and say nice things about me. It sounds less stupid in context, I swear. Anyways, I wrote those qualities down in my journal then realized I could use them for my daily practice. However, I then began to wonder if it counted as a part of my practice if someone else said the nice thing about me. I eventually decided that in this case, it does, because I believed them.

I am insightful

My rock. Live your life.
