Free your mind

What changes if you get their approval?

That’s the question you must ask yourself regarding the person you are trying to prove yourself to. Too many of us live our lives for the approval of others. Every decision, every action, every move we make is with somebody else in mind. We are handcuffed by the fear of, “What will they think of me?”

But that’s the wrong question to ask. It puts the control and peace of your life in the hands of others. So, regarding the original question, the right question, what changes if you get their approval? Nothing. Nothing at all changes. Their approval or disapproval changes nothing. 

You still have work to do, decisions to make, effort to give, a life to live. And you can only be who you are meant to become when you stop living for the approval of others and start living into your purpose.

Mental freedom is a superpower that unlocks our potential.
