Approval

If you base all your actions on the approval of others, ultimately you find yourself running in place, sacrificing your own happiness. 

 Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket.  Learn how to say “no” to people and obligations that do not add value to your life.  Your time on this planet is precious. 

 As the saying goes, “What you do today is important, because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.”
