When I act with more integrity (wholly oneself, fully true…) I am free from needing others appreciation.

I know what is my strength and where I can have impact. I do not need others to affirm that as often. And when I do need affirmation, I only look for it with those whom I would consider integral people in my life.

When I write a blog post I’m proud of, I don’t need to send it to my friends and say look what I did to be reminded it is good. I know it is because it’s coming from a wholly true place in me.
