Can you let go of what other people think of you?

Can you eliminate the need for their approval?

Will this make you less likely to avoid saying or doing things just to NOT hurt them?

Will this cause you to speak your mind more freely? Can you do this with gentleness, knowing how other people may respond?

This one is tough. It's going to take vigilance.
