DAILY ACTIVITIES / THOUGHTS & REFLECTIONS:
I started thinking about seeking approval today. The whole story that prompted this topic would make a much longer article, but I will try to keep it short here. It is ingrained in all of us somehow, from an ancestral origin - to seek approval from those around us. This can sometimes be toxic, but the confusing part is how it can also be based on love and good intentions. With such opposites who can really tell what is healthy and what is not? When approval comes from someone we love - and it uplifts us and it feels good - where is the line? It is sometimes said the only approval we really need should come from ourselves in regards to our own actions, but how does this work when technically everyone around is a reflection of some aspect of us coming to the surface?
TAROT READING OF THE DAY:
The reading today was filled with strong masculine energy. You can see the progression through the cards from adolescent to young adult to wise sage. Almost like maiden, mother, crone. Since the six of cups is all about memories and nostalgia, it poses the question: do your intentions come with no strings attached? Are you seeking approval? In the second card we can see the man has a map in front of him - representing the expectations of others. He honours this, and yet still choses his own path! The emperor still has the map on front of him, but he has matured in his world views. Instead of looking to the ground he looks to the stars - and to his intuition to make decisions.

I TOOK THE PICTURE OF THE TAROT CARDS MYSELF - BUT THE SOURCE FOR THE ARTWORK WITHIN THE CARDS IS CREDITED TO DEBORAH BLAKE. SHE OWNS AND RETAINS THE FULL COPYRIGHT TO THE EVERYDAY WITCH DECK.
It's interesting how everything is so relative in the world. How many "what ifs", "wells", "hows" and "whys" there are in every question under consideration. For example this - the approval of others. I have observed people in my life who were extremely self-confident and did not seek the approval of anyone. At the same time, they very rarely received it. Almost never even. But it doesn't matter to such people. What unites them is that they were raised by their parents with the thought and consciousness that they are the best, the most important ones, they are always right and so on. So, you see, "the only approval we really need should come from ourselves" and in this case there are no reflections around at all. Which might lead one to think that only your first statement, the one I quoted, could be true. 😎
