I tend to live life by permission slips. Constantly, doing and not doing things because I have been conditioned to think that I need approval for everything I do. Of course I am not referring to small items. I do not ask if I should go to the grocery store. But, for the the "bigger" things in life I tend to have to ask at least 5 different friends and/or family members if it is what I should do.How to break this is so daunting to me that it makes my palms sweat and my heart start to race. But, is life more our own when we make the rules, we set the limits and we allow our selves to live without every other person telling us his or her opinion on a matter they might not fully understand.
But, they can stop you from making pretty big mistakes. If you just do what you feel then you may make mistakes but at least you tried.
