.I DONT NEED, WANT OR CARE FOR YOUR DAMN APPROVAL...yeah you heard right!

[MrNotebook]

I'm here to declare that I don't give a DAMN what you think of me. I'll care for you as much as my sanity will allow but Lord knows, there is a limit. All of this I'm saying with a huge loving hug just for you.

YES, I'm talking to the whole world/universe right now!! Everybody readin this hear me NOW. IF YOU DON'T GET IT NOW THEN THAT'S TOO BAD YOU MISSED OUT ON AN AWESOME DUDE.

I don't feel guilty one iota because I serve a loving God that has already approved of my serving and obedient heart. If you see something that you don't like or cannot accept about me, OH WELL, then I have pity on you and I WILL PRAY for YOU. God made me imperfect at birth and I will live and die making mistakes. It's ok, I'm all jacked up but guess what? I love myself and alllll my jackability.

I don't care about anything other than the fact that I'm alive and SO grateful for the fact that I simply AM and today is today. That is enough for me. I don't care about your feelings of me needing to make a high income. I don't care about your judgements about me not being latest fashion. I don't care about you not accepting my friendship because the friends I have now are more than what I could've ever imagined.

God has blessed me with so much abundance in life. I have friends that care about me, a job, a loving and lovely daughter, a room for rent, I'm healthy, I have nice decent clothes...to me this is more than enough!!!

I don't care that I'm not wearing the most expensive alligator loafers because I don't measure my worth by that. I don't care that you cut me off in traffic, because I know that the problem is in your lane, not mine. My lane is open and free.

You cannot intimidate me because I have already made up my mind what and who I want to be regardless of being scared. And guess what? YOU CAN'T STOP ME. YOU CAN'T STOP ME.YOU CAN'T STOP ME.YOU CAN'T STOP ME. Sorry Charlie, but YOU CAN'T STOP ME.

I don't care that I smoke sometimes because I know God still loves and accepts me and knows that I will oneday let it go. He will empower me.

I don't care what you think about me being addicted/strung out on cocaine for a year in Brooklyn, NY, sniffin my brains out. I SIMPLY DON'T CARE!!!! because I have already forgiven myself.

I don't care because I have overcome and achieved more success that you said I could and guess what? I give %110 credit to God!!!

Wanna know what I think of fear? F*CK FEAR!!!!!! YEA, YOU HEARD RIGHT!! F*CK FEAR!!!!

So go ahead, say what you want, think what you want, be what you will because I'm here to do something GREAT whether you can accept it or not - right here, right NOW. God has endowed me with a spirit to LIVE a life of LOVE with MEANING, VIGOR and PURPOSE to all my might!!!

I don't need you to like me because I already am liked by something MUCH MUCH greater than mere you.

Sorry if I failed to please you. Actually, I take that BACK....ain't even sorry.

[Perfect Sunday]

You know, this is a great way to start off a Friday...

Need a hug?

[Steve Pavlina]

I don't care.

[robc]

Tell us how you REALLY feel!

[PianoManGidley]

I feel the same way, only instead of attributing it all to God, I attribute my strengths to myself and I appreciate that I have friends and other people who care about me and love and accept me for who and what I am.

[m4xx]

[fwellers]

uuuuuummmmmmmm, you said the F*CK.

but seriously, let's see how you feel tomorrow.

...it's an assumption for you to think I don't feel my best now. What's in a word?

attributing all your strengths to yourself is ego-centric, isn't it?

Of course, they are free.

I appreciate that I have friends and people who care for me as well....however they did not give themselves their own lives...something greater did (God)...therefore I give God thanks for having/putting them in my life.

Did you create yourself? Did you give yourself this life or was it given to you?

[PianoManGidley]

I feel I have existed for much longer than the physical body I currently inhabit has. So questions about from whence I came and to whom my existence can be attributed are difficult to answer, and likely different from what you believe. But then, we don't care if we disagree with each other, do we? As for attributing my strengths to myself being ego-centric...that may be, but I worked for them, so I feel I've earned them on my own merits.

It's interesting that you create this new thread with a lengthy post about not caring about the judgements of others, yet you already seem quick to pass judgement onto my own statements, where I was simply trying to agree with you in a sense.

Ok I accept and take responsibility for my words. I apologize if I came off harsh or offensive in any way. I did not mean to respond negatively.

In terms of not caring about the judgements of others, I never said/meant "others are wrong for judging me". I don't agree with blocking people out from their judgements of me. I at least consider their judgements and take them into consideration and ask myself "is this true?" For purposes of clarity what I mean is I will not allow the judgements (good or bad) of others have an effect on me since I care more about a higher judge and of course my own judgement about me.

I care zilch about what man thinks of me because I answer to God.

uuuuuummmmmmmm, you said the F*CK.

Great post MrNotebook !! I've spent most of my life seeking approval from everyone except me, up until now.

Yeah, yeah. You didn't scare me. I enjoyed it. I would give you the "clapping hands" smiley or even the "thumbs up" smiley but this forum seems defective. So I'm stuck with this:

Angela you're one of my favorites, you are one of the first ones to help me when I first came to this site. You gave me really good advice on how to get out of myself and helped me deal with some of my stiffness of my arms fear.

I'll never forget that and sincerely express my deepest thanks.

[Rose of Cairo]

That's awesome. No need to shout, we're perfectly fine with it. Are you?

[jawillie]

I have felt that urge to scream at the world, too. It happens. You don't need to justify yourself to anyone, but remember, it is not beneficial for you to be mad about what others believe, either. I have btdt, and I am learning it is much more fulfilling to stand firmly, yet lovingly, in my own beliefs and let others do the same. Take care!

Oops I think you're right, I am shouting in the title, aren't I? I'm just noticing that and that was totally not my intention.

Now that I look at it I see what you're sayin'.
