This happens first as a child – when we adapt to meet our parents' needs so that we can get others approval.<br /><br /><br />Then, as we get older, it could be with a group of friends, or adapting to how we think our romantic partner thinks we should be – or the opposite, we rebel against how anyone thinks we should be and we stand out by not fitting in.<br /><br /><br />No matter how we slice it, adapting ourselves to fitting in or being a rebel and standing out – all of these behaviours stem from our thoughts about what other people think. And living our lives from the perspective of what other people think creates massive pain in our lives. Because when we act based on what other people think, we are acting from the place of a deficit, that is, "I'm not enough, so I am going to change myself to be enough."<br /><br /><br />This core thought has caused A LOT of pain in our life. <br /><br /><br />The journey is that through feeling all of this pain, we come back to ourselves. And we stop identifying with what other people think we should be, or we stop rebelling against other people – and instead tune in and listen to who we really are we explore our child hidden within.<br /><br /><br />Each and every one of us, and that includes YOU, is a unique soul. We each have a unique gift. We are all great at something.<br /><br /><br />And life comes into balance and our fullest expression begins to be realised when we align with our true nature rather than being a part of the herd or rebelling against the herd.<br /><br />The journey is to the child within. When we listen to and act from that place – we are trendsetters – we are unique – we are special – and ain't no one else like us!<br /><br />And what's cool is that when we start to belong to ourselves and express ourselves, we put out a different frequency and, as a result, we start attracting and meeting people who are on that new wavelength. And what's even cooler is that in doing so, we no longer need to chase people. When we belong to ourselves, we find who else we belong to.<br /><br />The joy of living a Self -Approved life is revealed when we begin to allow ourselves to be ourselves – we accept ourselves as we are – we accept ourselves as perfectly imperfect and the inner conflict begins to die down. And our true nature emerges and The Child Within supports us in miraculous ways.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0b175f; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;">Related articles</span></div> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both;
