Pretty powerful line, isn’t it?
What she is really saying is that the only person that can validate you is you.
Another way of thinking of this is Eleanor Roosevelt’s statement “no one can make you inferior without your consent.”

Continue to grow and develop but never allow yourself to be diminished.
