"Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world" Jim Carrey
This resonates deeply with me. I lived well over half my life being forced to seek acceptance, and almost lost myself, lost who I am, in the process. I don't do that any more. I know sometimes (often?) I can come across as out there, goofy or non-conformist. I'm not trying to be noticed, or make a statement. Not trying to be interesting, or anything else that insists "Look at meee!"
My focus, my intent, is simply to wring the most out of life that I can, refusing to color inside the lines or live within a box, as I was forced to do for so long. Not anymore! I make my own fun and to hell with what anyone else thinks of that!
I have always lived my life By The Golden Rule. Unfortunately itâs what got me into trouble. I kept thinking that if I treated my ex the way I want to be treated then he would follow my example. It didnât happen, it just allowed him to continue to control and dominate me. I still live my life by that rule because itâs too much a part of who I am at my core to not. But these days I am a great deal more discerning about the people in my life.
I think we all feel a need for acceptance. What is your experience?
