We all desire plenty of votes, let me give you a few examples.
Votes from our parents, to confirm we are enough.
Votes from our teachers, to confirm we are worthy students.
Votes from our employers, to confirm we make a great contribution.
Votes from our peers, to be recognised and feel like we belong to the tribe.
Votes from our friends and families all over social media, non-stop confirmation that we are loved.
Votes from our industry in the form of awards to prove that our company is among the best in the industry, in our region, in the world etc.
Why?
Everyone wants to be loved, feel good enough, feel recognised and we are constantly looking for this throughout our lives, it shows up everywhere!
Even when I’m writing this I need you to agree with me, that you can see what I’m saying is true, confirmation that I’m enough.
We are already enough, but we don’t wish to accept it.
This is the human experiment, the human drama, all of our individual stories acting out every single day, searching for approval, searching for acceptance, for love and belonging.
Look in the mirror and there you will find it all the votes you need!
