Approval. situation. A twin thief in the soul of a man.
Like a gentle breeze, they are gently, promise to whispering, respect, and glorious. But they emptied you, stripped themselves, and protruded for infinite tracking. I will leave myself to these pursuit. Approval is always in the middle. The status is looking for a greater status.
It is the life of a dog chasing the tail. It is spinning, panting, exhausted, but not approaching the real award.
These pursuit can lead to a sense of poverty, the sense of having to be in a more life, a poor end.
The world will tell you what you want to do. They dress up with money and say, “This is a success.” It may be a title. Corner office. A car shining under sunlight. Or applause of the crowd. These are not evil, but they are bait. They are tools that shrink your soul and shrink.
When they make a reason for men or women to wake up every morning, their purpose stops living completely. Their life becomes a shadow and live by the light of the approval of others.
But there is another way. Probably a more difficult way, but it is from Truer. People can choose to turn their backs on the shout of the crowd. Leave the stage and the spotlight. Instead, listen to a quiet voice speaking in the loneliness of your heart.
The voice does not shout. It’s not flat. But it knows who you are. If you do it, you will guide you towards what makes your spirit live. It is the job you have done, that is, the job that will be interested in you, challenge you, and bring joy to you.
And if you find the job, you will find freedom. Freedom to be a real person, do what you really love and live a real life.
The pursuit of your calling does not mean that it is not expensive. I don’t understand the world. They ask why you don’t follow the script. They will be stupid, reckless, and even selfish. But their judgment is not important. This is important: Do you track Call of Duty while you are doing what you like?
What kind of duty? Use your gifts to the fullest. To take care of those who rely on you. Adding something to another person’s life does not become a person who is taking but gives back, but to others.
Do you use the gift given to you? Are you living as a man or woman you intended to do?
In a real life, applause needs to be applauded for peace, material status, and truth approval. It is not the opinion of others, but to measure your value by satisfaction and results built on Anvil of meaningful works.
And here is here. Stopping the approval is often the case that the respect has not been blamed. If you stop working hard for the status, you can get something bigger, that is, integrate. People know themselves and are attracted to men or women who live without pretending.
The more you follow this path, the less interest in praise and status. By that time, I know deeply that the richness of life can be seen in the job that you are called to do, rather than being recognized and praised.
So please chase others. While you tend to have your work, your passion, your skills, and an important life, they will take your applause and title.
