The moment when we no longer need the approval of others is an unattainable moment. Think about it. So much of what we do is for the approval of others.
There is an invisible feeling that we want to be liked by others, and it makes sense. Who doesn’t want to be liked? But this invisible feeling permeates our decisions and choices. It even prevents us from dreaming because we have to filter it through the opinions of others.
But really, if you want to change the world, you shouldn’t care about what people think. It really doesn’t matter. I don’t mean to be mean and not listen to anyone. I mean, you should achieve a freedom from within to listen to everyone’s opinion and analyze it for yourself. That’s when our ideas are built on a solid foundation.
Again, you shouldn’t be arrogant. You shouldn’t be cold. You should be rich. When you know who you are and what you want, a little wind can’t destroy you.
Approval is something that disappears. Very quickly. Today you have it, tomorrow you don’t. One day you even have criticism, which is much more terrible than approval from others.
When people want to create something meaningful, they must first know themselves. They should not let their thoughts and ideas be hostage to the thoughts and ideas of others. Innovation is formed by taking risks and breaking rules.
So it’s okay if you are not popular. Stand up for what you believe in. Serve humanity. Express your ideas freely. By doing this, you have already won.
