“Don’t seek approval. This may be the toughest suggestion for you to follow — and the most important. Whether you’re a teenager seeking approval from your peers, a middle-aged parent seeking the approval of your kids, or a man or woman seeking the approval of a partner, it all amounts to the same thing. You’re giving your personal power away every time you seek validation from someone else for who you are.” – Trish MacGregor, Soulmate Astrology

He must always have someone around to pat him on the head and tell him he is doing a good job. This bolsters up his poor self-esteem.”- Robert Anthony, The Ultimate Secrets of Total Self-Confidence
