www.sivababa.org more videos bit.ly Someone came tο mе аnd cried “I’m nοt being appreciated whatever I dο thе boss doesn’t lіkе mе аnd puts mе down.” Hе wаѕ very frustrated аbουt іt аnd I tοld hіm thе problem wаѕ nοt hіѕ boss’s problem thе problem wаѕ hіѕ problem. First hе suffers frοm low self admire аnd second problem іѕ approval seeking. Approval seeking behavior sets up very tеrrіblе expectations аnd уου won’t bе рlеаѕеd аt аll.

so right. Never thought of it. We aren’t pets. Who cares what all thinks of us it is always changing.
Excellent advice thx Baba
come to the realisation that life is about finding self worth. approval seeking is an expression of its missing.
bless. excellent luck all
WOW…i struggle with low-self admire. I like the “pet animal” (constantly seeking to be petted or to be approved by someone else OTHER THAN YOURSELF AND/OR CHRIST). Thank you!
your words are always very well spoken. The only one who can judge us is our personal higher order.
Thanks datta. I really do not want to be looking to be pet for the rest of my life to be pleased.
me too man.
Im really feeling that message Datta, as i’ve issues in this area, as you say we are not dogs so we dont need to be petted all the time, we just need to do our best no matter what we might be doing without the thought of what public may say about it. Thanks Datta you tha man!
Approval seeking and self-admire go collectively.
Before, creolelatte mentioned a full moon video with Datta in water. I didn’t see that and would be interested in viewing it. Is that possible?
God bless you…
Thank you Datta! …. went right to my heart!

wonderful advice for me. Thank you, Datta. One of my dogs has fantastic self confidence, composure, self-directedness and that made him a really excellent service dog. I could count on him not to get rattled or upset by anything. He accepts pettings, but he doesn’t ever question for them. That’s the nature of the chow chow and that’s why some public don’t like them. Some Chow chows have a mind of their own and a sense of self that is so solid.
P.S Please re-post the full moon video with Datta in the water. I happened to see it while I was working and promised myself I would go back and savor it after I finished, but it was gone!
Thanks Datta, This is very relevant. When one is seeking approval they cannot be fully trusted whether it is a work situation or a personal relationship.
Thank you Guru. I suffered a lot becouse of low self admire and approval seeking. Now i am more confident to work towards my goal.
