When we look outside of ourselves for approval from another person,
We're doing ourselves a huge disservice.
We're giving up so much power,
So much authenticity.
And one way to get away from that is to remember that all of us have lived entirely different lives.
We all have had our experiences shaped by totally different influences,
Different family upbringings,
Different cultural upbringings,
Different traumatic experiences,
Different social media influences.
All of it is shaping us to the degree that we all see reality from a different place.
So when we're trying to get approval from another person,
To a certain degree,
We're abandoning ourselves and we're trying to fit into the way that they see life.
We have to begin trusting ourselves.
We have to begin bringing ourselves to life in ways that feel true,
That feel authentic,
Regardless of what anybody says.
Then we're going to start reclaiming a tremendous degree of power and a tremendous degree of inner peace.
We're not going to be waiting for approval from others for we'll be giving it to ourselves.
