Takeaways

Approval is an external metric that can lead to disconnection from oneself. Living in alignment requires honesty, courage, and discernment. Performance often involves self-abandonment and erodes self-trust. Internal alignment makes you internally whole, external approval keeps you safe. The identity shift involves changing decision filters from approval to authenticity.
