Understand this. The people who get the most approval in life are the ones who care the least about it. And the ones who get the least approval are the ones who are always going after it. So if you want approval in this paradoxical way that I'm talking about it, stop needing it.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show.

I am your host Sean Croxton,

a Sean Croxton. Thank you so much for tuning in. We've got Dr. Wayne W. Dyer back on the show today. Our QOD is this. The people who get the most approval in life are the ones who care the least about it. It's kind of funny how that works, huh? You know, I'm pretty sure he says something in this clip because it's in my notes here that I disagree with. I usually agree with pretty much everything Dr. Dyer says. I think he says that we shouldn't care what people think. I don't think that's human. Like I've been guilty of saying that in the past. Like, I don't care of people think. You have to not care of people think. I don't think that's human. Like, I've been guilty of saying that in the past.

Like, I don't care what people think. You have to not care what people think. I don't think that's real.

I think our brains are so wired for connection, like social connection, that if you don't really care what people think, I think that's like a psychological disorder, to be

honest. I don't think that that's natural by any means. I think the difference between people is

that I think we all feel the sting of criticism, but some of us attach ourselves to it, we'll

ruminate on it for days, and others will feel the sting, it will be able to let it go.

And also, just as it's problematic to attach ourselves to criticism, it's also problematic to attach

ourselves to praise.

Dr. Dyer is going to talk about that.

He's coming up.

The funny part about approval, for those of you who really want it, now I'm here to tell you that I like approval. I enjoy it. I find it one of the most

exciting things in the way. I like it when people read my books. I love it when people applaud.

I like it when people tell me nice things and all. I like approval. I'm the first

one to admit it. What I don't do is I don't need approval. There's a big difference between

wanting approval and needing approval. When you need approval, it means you become immobilized

when you don't get it from making other people's opinions more important.

Now, for those of you who say, yeah, but I want approval and I need it and if I don't get it and so on, understand this.

The people who get the most approval in life are the ones who care the least about it.

And the ones who get the least approval are the ones who are always going after it.
