Ep 451: Throwback To Ep118: Getting Over Being Liked And Seeking Approval

Start Your Transformation Now Nothing sucks your life away like spending your days trying to be liked by everyone you meet, everyone in the office and people all around you. Without even recognizing it, many people will not engage in many things, like speaking up…because they want to be liked by others and they think if they speak up they will not be liked. The need to be liked plagues the planet at epic proportions and it’s one of the biggest things that debilitates lives. In this episode I talk about:[1:25] Why it’s so important to be liked[3:02] Why people hang onto it so dearly[9:37] Why people liking you is not about you[10:44] The illusion of being liked[20:50] No matter who you are, you’re not going to be liked by all[36:58] What it’s costing you to seek everyone’s likingAnd, much, much more… As you’re going to hear in this episode, no matter what you do, at least 30% of people you meet just aren’t going to like you. No matter what you do, there are some people who aren’t going to like what you do, so as you can see, trying to be liked by everyone is an illusion! Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway Just be you. Those who like you will, and those who will not, will not.
