Being concerned
of others' opinions of you is a form of captivity. A mental prison constructed
using false beliefs and painful experiences from the past.
The truly free and enlightened
individual doesn't require or seek approval in order to be themselves. Instead,
they accept themselves wholly and completely with gratitude.
The problem
with our society is that we define ourselves by
what others think of us. We are forever seeking approval and acceptance in order
to determine our status in the social pecking order.
This never ending quest leads us further
away from the source of our own love - US!
We become
addicted to being accepted by an ego
driven society. Like a drug, the high wears off and we get back to the
drawing board to determine what else we need to obtain or do in order to gain
the approval of our peers.
We forget our
innate beauty and spiritual wealth to pursue more power, more possessions etc.
Why is the confirmation of another
needed in order in order to feel of value? We must ask ourselves; am I
giving away my power when the approval of another is required?
The obvious answer is "yes."
Crystallizing
this enables us to reclaim our authentic self.
Decide who you are and who you want
to be and recreate yourself according to God's original blueprint and not
someone else's. Remember,
seeking approval from others is like weighing yourself down with anchors of
fear/self-doubt.
Celebrate who you are, not who
others want you to be.
Cheers to you.
