“here is the good news, the truth that will set you free: You don’t need their approval to be happy! So let it go!

“Everybody eventually surrenders to something or someone. If not to God, you will surrender to the opinions or expectations of others, to money, to resentment, to fear, or to your own pride, lusts, or ego.
