Stop Waiting for Someone to Give You the Keys to Your Own House
Ever wonder why you're still seeking approval from your boss, family, or industry experts before making major career moves or charging what you're worth? In this powerful episode of "You Matter in Business," the host dives deep into the self-sabotaging habit of waiting for external validation instead of trusting the wisdom you already possess.
The truth bomb? The people whose permission you're desperately seeking are often battling their own insecurities and limitations. When you ask for permission, you're essentially handing over veto power to others who may not even believe in their own capabilities.
The host breaks down the crucial difference between asking for permission (giving others control) and simply informing people of your decisions while maintaining your autonomy. She encourages starting small - give yourself permission to have opinions, trust your judgment, and claim the space your experience has earned you.
Key takeaway:
Your heart already knows your true capabilities, even when your mind fixates on limitations. You have the authority to change direction, outgrow relationships, dream bigger, and trust your own judgment about what's possible.
• The people you seek permission from are often struggling with their own limitations and insecurities - meaning their approval or disapproval says more about their internal state than your actual capabilities or worthiness.
• There's a crucial difference between asking for permission (giving others veto power) and simply informing people of your decisions - one maintains your autonomy while the other surrenders your power to make choices about your own life.
• Your heart already knows your true capabilities even when your mind focuses on limitations - suggesting that our intuitive understanding of our potential is often more accurate than our analytical, fear-based thinking.
