Why Do We Need Approval?

One thing I can't seem to work past is the need for approval.


I am not sure why, but this one really gets me. I know what I want to do, and need to do, but for some reason I still care what other people think.


I keep telling people things expecting them to just understand and every time I am let down.

But you know what... for some damn reason I keep doing it.


What is with that? I bet there are a thousand ideas the universe blessed you with and you didn't do a damn one because of what other people thought.

What is with that?

Why do we care so much about the thoughts of someone who didn't even have the fucking idea? They have no clue your plans, what it takes to get there, or anything about your dreams yet we let them dictate whether we are going to make it happen or not.

I try to hold my ideas to myself for this reason, but I always end up buckling. Telling someone something expecting this great response and guess what... it never changes.

It is so weird how attached we are to the opinions of others.

Could you imagine the amazing things we could create if we weren't?

If we just said fuck it to the fear. Started looking at things logically instead of emotionally?


Man, this is a hard one to kick.


But you can... with practice and proving it to yourself little by little.

Lack of understanding is all they have. So slowly make them understand.

As you show yourself what is possible, others will see too.
