Permission

If you spend your life waiting for approval and permission from others, then your life will be mainly on hold or be being directed by others and what they want.

We do not need permission or approval to do anything. Well, we used to have to get permission to go to the toilet at school.

We’ve been sold certainty and become conditioned to comply with others rules. This leads us then to seek permission or approval from others when we are faced with uncertainty, risk, or faced with something outside our comfort zones.

It’s your life and you can give yourself permission to do anything that you want. The right people for you will not judge and will be attracted to you because you are being genuinely you.

Permit yourself to be you. Live the life that will make you happy.

Denial

Why do we spend a good deal of our lives in denial?

We deny ourselves the true freedom to be the person we really are.

We deny ourselves happiness by accepting things that we know not to be right for us, often through fear of upsetting others.

Yet we would rather deny our own happiness than upset others, who are often doing the very same thing, madness.

Instead, we could allow ourselves to live the life that would make us happy. The thing that holds all of us back is ourselves and this acceptance of denying ourselves the things that make us happy.

We have been brainwashed by society to think about ourselves is selfish and wrong. So we deny ourselves the life we want so as not to be seen as selfish.

If you are happy, then this will be better for those around you and importantly, better for you. Yet we are often too busy spending our time trying to make others happy.

The person best qualified to know what will enable us to be happy is ourselves, not others.

Stop deny yourself and allow yourself to be happy, you’d be mad not to. Start by choosing your own happiness first and not that of others.
