You do realize that the person or people that you jump through hoops to get their “approval” don’t like you or themselves – Right? Who themselves are also jumping through hoops to get the “approval of another group of people who don’t like themselves either – Right?
How do we know? Because people that are at peace with themselves do not require others to belittle and make a fool of themselves for “approval”. Instead, they will want you to have peace of mind and high self-esteem they will encourage you to be your authentic self. They would say “get your own drum, dance your own dance and sing your own song” – and they will sing, dance with you and be happy for you.
This is one of the ways to discern if someone is for our highest good or if they simply want to manipulate and cross our free will in order to feel better about themselves, by making others feel inadequate. And just know, the hoops will get smaller and smaller, the smaller they feel about themselves, the smaller your hoops get.
Free Yourself! If you feel like you want to jump through a hoop – make sure it is your own AUTHENTIC HOOP, and do it on your own terms and do it without apology.
No Hoop Jumping!
