Why Do You Always Ask For Permission?
Why Do You Always Ask For Permission?
We have all come onto this earth to fulfill a purpose between our souls and creator yet many of us constantly find ourselves seeking other people’s permission and approval before making any major decisions in our life.
If you are one of these people, then a good question to ask yourself is, why do you always ask for permission?
The reason you are always asking for permission and others’ approval is that society has trained you to do so.
It started with a possible exposure to an authoritarian parenting style and school systems where you were encouraged to seek permission for everything, including going to the bathroom, which is a biological need, and adhering and conforming your actions to a bell ringing.
Instead of valuing and honoring your power, turning inward, listening to your intuition and inner wisdom, and loving guidance you have been trained to seek your answers from the outside, from other people.
This could lead to lower self-esteem, worth, and image since you have not been guided and do not know how to tap into your power and not heal from your past unmet emotional needs.
Next, let’s list 10 things where you must stop seeking permission if you want to live the best, meaningful, purposeful, and fulfilling life that you dream of.
