The behavior of seeking permission from others is ingrained in us from an early age. As children, we are taught that we need to ask for permission from someone else to do certain things. As a child, this is appropriate, but as we grow up, many of us still hold onto that behavior and it does us more harm than good.
As adults, many of us are still asking someone else for permission for big life changing decisions. In the process, we never really learned how to make decisions for ourselves. We learned that we need other’s approval first and foremost for the decisions we make.
The reality is the only person you need to ask permission from is yourself. You are the one who lives with the consequences of your choices. The only person that truly lives with your decisions every day is you. When you start listening to your own inner voice and take steps that make you happy, your life starts to change.
