Moving past Your Desire for Approval from Others
03/21/22 • 4 min
When you devalue yourself, you’re often driven by a need to prove your value to others as a way of compensating for your own inner sense of lack. But there's a flip side to this issue that we don't address.
What if people love your work?
What if you slide across the finish line as the best in your field?
This can create a different kind of prison of constantly seeking the approval of others as validation for your creativity. Either way, whether you think you're not enough or your not enoughness causes you to get drunk on the approval of others, it stops us short in our creative explorations. Join Karen Curry Parker on Cosmic Revolution for some bite-size thoughts on how to move past a desire for approval from others so you can allow your marvelous and authentic voice to be heard across the world.
Please visit www.quantumalignmentsystem.com to discover how you can activate your relentless and authentic self-expression.

How to Turn My I Have To’s into My I Get To’s
I keep coming back to a contemplation I heard once that transformed the way I think about my life - especially when it’s hectic and a wee bit out of control:
How can I turn my “have to” into an “I get to”?
My husband is having cancer surgery this Friday. He’s having some pretty serious health challenges and it’s making me have to put things into perspective.
I am grateful.
Or at least I am working hard to stay in a place of gratitude.
This is a pretty hard attitude to maintain some days. It’s been a long couple of years trying to stay resilient during a pandemic, homeschooling, and supporting a 12-year-old with some serious anxiety, almost losing my oldest daughter due to complications of Covid-19 and pregnancy, running my business from home, trying to stay connected with my children, my grandchildren, and family all over the country, worrying about my son in the Army, trying to take care of my aging parents who live all the way at the other side of the country...and more.
Much more, if I actually make a list.
I know many of you have gone through the same kinds of challenges.
Your Quantum Human Design teaches you how to redefine your story and write a personal narrative that is easy to be grateful for. You can learn more about Quantum Human Design by visiting http://quantumhumandesign.com/.
I’m Karen Curry Parker and I’m deeply grateful for you. Thank you for joining me for Cosmic Revolution.

When we create, we will never be satisfied with what we create.
We think our creative dissatisfaction is a signal that we’re not getting it right or that our creative offering isn’t “enough”.
What if it is enough? What if your self-judgement and dissatisfaction is simply a symptom of being on the evolutionary edge of your creativity?
Find out more on how you can explore your creativity at gracepointpublishing.com
May your voices gain strength. May your creative vision stay clear and strong. May your creative fire spark change in the world.
- Karen Curry Parker
