Live Authentically: Why Seeking Approval Undermines Your True Worth

-Karthik Gurumurthy

The moment you seek to impress someone, you’ve already set yourself up for failure. When we strive to impress others, we unconsciously position ourselves beneath them, seeking their validation and approval just to feel worthy of their attention. But here’s the truth: the person you’re trying to impress could walk out of your life in an instant. Instead of chasing their approval, focus on the bigger picture—your purpose, your growth, and your values.

Ask yourself: Are you staying true to your principles in every interaction? If you can navigate relationships while upholding your values, that’s something to truly take pride in. The goal is to become more aware of your actions and intentions, ensuring they align with who you are and what you stand for. Live authentically, not for the fleeting validation of others.
