Yeah, I used to seek approval from others, but as I get older, the less & less I seek approval and the more I do what I think is right for me. I respect my peers, parents, siblings, friends, relatives, coworkers opinions and thoughts for sure and will listen to everyone, but in the end I will do what is best for me. The older I get, the more comfortable I am in my decision making and know whether people approve or not, its best for me.
