A lot of people think they want to be rich and famous.  If you think you want to be rich and famous, do you really know why?  Like, deep down inside of you why?

Is that a goal for yourself, or is that a goal about how other people perceive you?  Most of us, deep down, don’t really love ourselves.  We see our own weaknesses, not our own strengths.  We see our own shortcomings, and our blind to our own successes.  We want other people to approve of us to try to compensate for our own lack of self-approval.

The problem is, if you don’t like yourself, you won’t be able to truly accept the approval from other people, because you won’t believe that you deserve it.

So, before you try to get rich or famous, make sure that you already approve of yourself, and that you know why that is your goal.  If you think that having people be jealous of the big house, or the fancy car, or the name recognition, will make you like yourself, you’ll be sadly disappointed.
