ten keys #4

relinquish your need for external approval

yet another key to happiness!

because when we are in constant need for approval

then we are dependent upon others for our happiness

the goal is

we want to be independent of everyone's approval

then we are self referred

close your eyes

and just repeat to yourself mentally

i am independent of the good and bad opinions of others

and now say this one

i am beneath no one and superior to no one

and now say to yourself

i am fearless

so try to remember those three phrases

these are affirmations

say them to yourself into they are grooved into your nervous system

and then

from now on

every time you look into a mirror

say one of those things to yourself mentally

and look at your eyes

and they sparkling of the sparkling of your eyes reflects the soul

repeat one of those phrases to yourself

get into the habit of it

and you will soon see

that your body language

your voice tone

your gestures

your walk

reflect this self esteem

that comes from the total absence

or need of approval from the world

if you can do that you will be capable of extraordinary things

(wait - isn't that what gangsters do?)
