In this segment, the speaker explains how a lack of love and connection in childhood often drives people to chase approval and validation from others, believing that external acceptance will make them feel sufficient. This pursuit creates a heavy burden on both the seeker and those around them, as the individual tries to become whatever others want them to be, effectively surrendering their personal power. The speaker argues that instead of seeking approval, individuals should prioritize genuine connection and love, emphasizing that authentic love can only arise when one is truly being themselves.

Chapters

If love and connection was not felt growing up, approval and validation is the second thing people will settle for. And the belief is, if I can get your approval and your validation, I can then feel enough. So then what happens is people go out into the world and they project this big burden onto everyone around them. They're saying, I'm gonna give you the ability to approve or disapprove of me, and I want you to do that, so I'm going to be whoever you want me to be. They feel this immense pressure on them and they're trying everything they can to get it, when in fact the way they're going about it is they're giving away their power, but also they're, they're giving someone the burden that's not their burden. So instead of going for approval and validation, focus instead on connection and love. And the only way people can really love you is if you are really being you.
