As we grow up learning new things and teaching ourselves skills to use, we seek approval to see how we are doing. The attention we get when we do well enhances our motivation to do even better. We love “approval’ in what we accomplish and this builds self esteem that moves our lives to achieve great things. 

When we don’t get the approval we need to keep learning, we get discouraged and give up. It is harder when our peers and families don’t approve of what we are doing. This lack of approval can make us isolated and lonely in what we are seeking to fulfill. Approval can keep us going or destroy the very thing we desire for our lives.

If we wait for approval we stay in the same place and we will feel frustrated. We equate the lack of approval with love. The lack of approval then takes the energy away to achieve what we set out to accomplish. We need to be aware of how approval makes us feel and how it move our lives. Because if this is unbalanced we will be very unhappy and not get what we aspire.

Our desires might not match those who are around us and make it difficult to keep going. Know many before us branched out to seek their desires to find no one approved. But we need to be authentic to who we are to make our dreams come true.

Approval is wonderful when we receive it, but know we will keep going without it. That many accomplished great things with the adversity of not being approved. As long as we approve of ourselves with great regard, knowing,    “We can do it”!

Seek those who approve,

Love yourself,

Go be great.
