Human beings are programmed to seek approval. We want people to LIKE us. We want to feel needed, wanted, desired.
And we will go to all kinds of lengths to get that approval. The way we dress, the car we drive, the food and drinks we consume. A career path, a parenting style, the place we choose to live.
You'd think, that with so many different places to go to get 'fulfilled'' we'd be all walking around loved up and giving it all back right? so how come most of us feel like we are on a mouse-wheel to happiness?
There's plenty of material out there telling us how to find inner peace...or to be satisfied with our lives...or to live happily with less. We buy the books and download the podcasts but it's still not quite enough...
Does having approval make us feel safe? Or loved? Who's approval matters most?
Who's approval do you seek and why?
