Joyce Meyer

Don't depend on other people as the source of your happiness or for approval. - Joyce Meyer

Love this.  Saw this and though is Joyce Meyer in my head.  Nope thats not it.  What it is, is God.  God puts things in our path at the right moments.  It was funny to see it because literally a few days before it my friends....hmmmmm.....lets call them Jasmine and Aladdin.  They were discussing with me that this is what I do.  I always depend on others for approval.  I am not sure why I do that to myself, well yes I am, I know why but its not to be discussed right now.  We are to be happy and patient with the lives that God has given us.  I know too many people well let me not say people and just come out and say it GIRLS.  Girls depend on others for approval.  

Approval the action of officially agreeing to do something or accepting something as satisfactory.  Happiness is a mental or emotional stat of well being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.  

The reason that this hits so "close to home" for me, is because when I became a senior advisor at my place of work.  When I came over I wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to do it on my own.  I needed some direction.  I wanted someone to point me in the right direction.  But, now I have come to the realization that I am my own genie.  I don't need to be like that at work.  I now have the confidence that I can do anything.  I got my promotion because I had qualities of a leader and that I didn't need to be managed.   So I got this. I won't be depending on others for my happiness.
