In this episode, weâre going to talk about why we should not live for others' approval and why we should stop living through them and think that our efforts can sustain or elevate them, thereby positioning us to live for them. Our life is ours. And yes, it can be our mission to serve others, to teach and uplift others, but itâs their mission to do whatever work is required of them, to do what theyâre supposed to do. Our natural inclination to do this is tied to seeking approval from the parental and familial figures we were raised with, and it flowed into the relationships we had with our teachers and coaches, and wanting to gain their approval, acceptance, and be told that good, great, worthy, etc. But when do you start living for yourself? When do you start stamping yourself with your own stamp of approval?
This episode explores motivations for goal attainment, gift-giving, philanthropy, and more. We discuss the traps of living vicariously through others and how parents can be the biggest obstacle in their child's life. We also discuss the conditions we keep placing on love and our relationships with the people we should protect. And we outline some suggestions from mental health professionals and life coaches with ways to stop living for others and living other peopleâs lives.
We also shout out some hard-working, smart-working people and the companies theyâve built to bring you the products and services you desire.
