When our wellbeing is dependent upon other people’s opinions (OPO) they become our slave masters. Once we are living for OPO we compromise our authentic drive altering our intentions and begin following narratives that appear to please OPO.
Naturally, while we may be content when we sense approval, since our lives are not genuine we know at our core that we are still lacking what we need for lasting joy. Living with such inner conflict creates significant anxiety which restricts expression of our natural gifts while laying the foundation for an array of debilitating physical and emotional maladies.
With OPO as our puppet master/slave master, we vacillate between perspectives, lifestyles and ideologies never really knowing our true selves.
Following the pack will never have the opportunity to stand out.
Be outstanding, BE YOU.
