Approval Of Others Quotes

We're high on the adrenaline of feeling, even though we know it's fleeting and evanescence. And we're getting worse -- checking texts and emails and Facebook every five minutes, always searching for that next hit of feeling, that next morsel of approval.

You will never gain anyone's approval by begging for it. When you stand confident in your own worth, respect follows.

If you can't appreciate the full worth of my courage, you can't admire my mastery.

Efrat Cybulkiewicz

Don’t try to make anyone like you. Work on you and the right people will be drawn to you. Mind games consume energy that could have been used on something more productive and fulfilling.

If they don't like you for who you are, it means they're not meant to be in your life.

Izey Victoria Odiase

A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful centre. It neither craves others' approval nor rejects others' presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants.
