Manipulation Stops where Your Need for Validation Ends
I recently realized that I suffered immensely because I was "the chaser." I chased friendships, relationships, prestige, and money, all while wondering why I felt so drained.
**The misery ended the moment I stopped the chase.**
When you can clearly see the "carrot" being dangled in front of you, you gain the power to choose. Do I actually want to run for this, or would I rather thrive in peace?
***If you pursue something just for validation from family, peers, or society, you will eventually end up chewing a carrot you never really wanted.***
We often assume a job or a relationship defines our happiness. We make these things the sole pursuit of our lives, forgetting that:
>*“Happiness starts with you, not with your Relationships, Job or Money” \~ Sadhguru*
When you take leaps in consonance with what truly brings joy to your heart, you end up achieving things you never thought were humanly possible, simply because you aren't fighting yourself anymore.
**Has anyone else reached the point where they "stopped the chase"?**
**How did your life change after you let go of the need for external approval?**
