Dear Guides,
How can we release the desire for approval?
Excerpt from Minda’s channeling on 1.26.2010:
Dear ones,
Ah, but some of you are plagued by this longing for approval. And you do not need to be. There is no inherent benefit to you to receive approval from your world-mates, from your society, from your family, from your neighbors, from your friends, from your work-mates, from any who surround you. Each of you is on a journey which is so totally independent, in terms of what you are seeking, what you are trying to learn, and what you are trying to achieve. It is an illusion to think that you need input and guidance from those around you.
What you need, rather, is a clear connection from within, a strong feeling of being in the present moment, in touch with how you are feeling, how you are situated in the greater context of your environment, your place in the Universe, your personal goals, and your desires to co-create in beauty and harmony with those around you. A major part of the focus is on the inner qualities of how you are feeling inside yourself and within the world or context. And the other part is how you fit with the others around you and how you feel co-creating the things that you engage in with them. So both the inner world and the outer world come together in the moment. But approval from the outside is not the same as co-creating to manifest the projects you envision with others.
