If your main goal is to make sure everyone likes & approves of you, you risk sacrificing your uniqueness & therefore your excellence. ~Anon
We don’t need to seek approval from another person. Self-approval starts first with us. If we’re seeking approval from another person other than ourselves, then we are in so many ways telling ourselves that we aren’t good enough. We must learn to please ourselves. The only person who is with us 24 hours and seven days week is ourselves. Imperfections and blemishes are parts of us we must accept. When we know this to be true, then we can freely be. We don’t have to be afraid to be unique. In other words, we can freely express ourselves in any way we want to.
