Approval
Have you ever noticed the approval seeking mechanism of the human system? The brain does not seek approval at all. It is naturally blessed with a sense of belonging. It is focussed on its functionalities like learning, evolving, reasoning, protecting the body, operating the biochemical mechanism of the body and being a fully functional organism. This approval seeking compulsion stems from a sense of isolation which is alien to the brain. It is unnatural and therefore it confuses the brain and greatly reduces the brain’s potential to function at its fullest capacity.
Not every human need to understand you, like you, accept you or celebrate you. It is not at all necessary. Be fine with being disliked, be fine with disapproval. Know that what truly matters is whether you approve of yourself at all levels of consciousness; the conscious, sub conscious and the super conscious levels. To be angry at conscious level and to regret it at sub conscious level brings about conflict. With the resolution of INNER CONFLICT there is a sense of knowing without a shadow of doubt that is beyond seeking approval from another.
