You don't need their approval.

You never did.

You plopped out of your mother's womb and there you were naked and beautiful in your entire splendor.

Did someone say, "I don't think I like this baby? Maybe we should send it back to God”. I don't think so. You didn't need their approval then.

You don't need their approval now and you don't need their approval ever.

Everything has a price and the price of approval is stress and anxiety. You don't need it and it's time to dump it. In order to avoid conflict, approval seekers are always willing to give in and accept the status quo.

You see it’s this conflict issue that always stifles approval seekers. Approval and self-esteem are two sides of

the same coin. They are codependent and are continually trying to build each other up.

Manipulators love these approval seekers as they can get whatever they want all the time by focusing on their weaknesses. These people are just like piranhas.

In order to move forward towards freedom, you must begin to teach people how you want to be treated.

It’s called terms of engagement.

This is a must.

You must do this from the onset as no one can read your mind.

No one!

Don’t be a chameleon. Be real and tell people who you really are and what your boundaries are from the very beginning.

You don’t have to be rude, intolerant or stubborn but you must begin to be mentally tough.

What legacy are you really going to leave when you drop the chameleon act?

"All good men and women must take responsibility to create legacies that will take the next generation to a level we could only imagine." - Jim Rohn

So what legacy do you want to leave your loved ones?

Are they really going to care about all the online, offline fallout, likes, dislikes etc.?

When you are long gone, your loved ones will only want to treasure a memory or story that you shared with them and not the nonsense that goes on today.

A few years ago, there was an elderly gentleman that hopped on a bus in San Jose, Texas. The bus was completely full except for one seat next to a young lady.

The gentleman sat down beside the young lady and proceeded to wait for his stop. He quickly noticed that the young lady was attracted to the beautiful bouquet of flowers that he held in his hands. The bouquet was full and exquisite. After ten minutes or so, the young lady persisted with her attraction for the bouquet of flowers. Finally, the elderly gentleman turned towards her and said, "You seem to be so attracted by the beauty of these flowers". I think that I will just give them to you as a gift as you seem to love them so much".

The young lady was so happy and delighted by his gesture. Then the gentlemen continued to say, "I'll just tell my wife that you loved them so much that I decided to give them to you as a gift."

The elderly gentleman arrived at his stop and got off the bus.

As the bus drove off, the young lady looked out the window and saw that the man was entering the nearby cemetery.

You never know how your words or actions impact people.

Everyone matters regardless of religion, color or anything else that might describe an individual.

What legacy are you going to leave?

Begin today and realize that you don't their approval ever again.
