Funny how when a child falls most of the time they wait to see the adults react before they decide whether it hurts or not. If the adult reacts favorably, then all is well and the child goes back to playing and all is well. If the adult freaks, then the child freaks.
Adults are like that also, but they wait to see how their partner reacts, or how their friend reacts about something, and if that person reacts favorably, then all is well and we go back to doing what we were doing. If that person freaks, then we freak.
Why is it that we depend on others for their approval to things we're doing? Obviously, there are things that will affect others and we need to keep that in mind when we decide to do something, but in order for us to move forward in life, we need to move on our own. If we wait for others to react favorably, we'll be waiting forever. We have control over our lives and we need to ultimately make the decisions to move forward. It's been said that you are either growing, or you're dying; there's no in between. Time will move forward, and in order for us to achieve anything, we must move forward with it. We are responsible for us. We must take responsibility for our actions. People don't do things to us. We allow people to do things to us. It's on us to make the changes so that it doesn't happen again. I think it was Einstein who said that insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results. It doesn't work that way. If you want different results, you must do something differently. Even if it hurts.
