[The approval burden]

Time flies when you're having fun, and so it does when you seek approval. Nothing is as painful as seeking approval from someone who doesn't give a damn about you and your efforts. This happens a lot when you're in business. Businesspeople seek approval from anyone they deem a target audience, or a prospective partner, or potential stakeholder, and that a stressful situation to find selves in.

Being a beggar is hard and many in business do that all day everyday without realizing it. When you seek approval, you literally are begging from whomever that it is you're casting your net upon. It's hard in that position we all know. It's but better when you're targeting someone who has been there before and appreciative of your efforts as it makes it easier a bit.

There's something discouraging about approval at times and that is meeting the requirements at their maximum, yet be not given favourable acceptance. Approval ain't automatic, it depends on the approver all the time and that's what's unfair about it. After that, then comes the danger of going after everyone's concurrence. Doing that has never lit any candle to its finish though, a classic example is that of the lesson of an old man and his donkey. A blanket approach in approval not achievable, hence you need your own bin size to put your lid on with ease. Even if it's 17 out of 100 in a group it's still fine, the golden gate leads to the highway bridge and however you cruise to it, what matters is the gain point which is the end goal.

Approval needs discipline, know where to start and where to stop. Weigh your prospects first before committal. True thing about seeking approval is that if it be on the same thing over a long time it becomes a bore to point out its justification as it makes one look weak. I stand corrected on the fact that when you seek approval, do so still in check of your dignity, otherwise you'll be disrespected.

In conclusion: whether you're rich or poor, seeking approval touches you. Be it in family and friends or business or society, how they respond to your sought desire a result of their own that you need to respect and live with in that it won't be of favour to you always. Approval is a house divider, be careful to accept that. And do remember that as much as it's hard for you to impress the party of interest, same is the burden on the party of interest to give approval for you...dp
