96. The Most Important Source of Approval
Manage episode 407463585 series 3560617
I spent a lifetime trying to win approval. From parents, siblings, friends, teachers, professors, colleagues, and bosses.

It’s impossible to hold onto self-worth when it’s constantly on trial and up for negotiation. Ask yourself “Who am I seeking approval from now?”. This is a doorway to inner awareness. What about this person makes you question your self-worth? What clue is hiding there about an area of yourself that you need to love internally?
