whose approval?

This isn't about living a life just for me, but it is about living in integrity. And if I lived by other people's opinions, I would totally lose myself.

We have to step into our power and know that other people will disagree. And our job is to send them Love anyway. We must have a strong foundation in who we are and our purpose so that nothing in the world can shake our resolve. We must make our own approval more important than the approval of the world, because only YOU can live your life.

"That's the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along."

- Lisa Alther, author.

"In every crisis there is a message. Crises are nature's way of forcing change - breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place."

- Susan Taylor, writer and journalist.

"I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life - specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown; and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in my heart that says: turn back, turn back, you'll die if you venture too far."

- Erica Jong, author and teacher.
