Depending on Others for Approval

  • We are all dependent on something to the point that it’s almost an addiction. It could be your morning coffee or sugar or your routines.

  • Don’t be too dependent on your life’s comfort and make yourself invulnerable to it. Life can change at any time, and we could end up in difficult circumstances.

  • Understand that if you need encouragement from everybody, you make everyone your judge. It’s your independence that creates your better future. So, don’t let your happiness be dependent on your addictions or someone else’s mood, and take control of your life by resisting your urges.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
