Approved or not


This quote is great to reflect upon when we are always so worried about how other people view us. In the end we need only care about how God views us.


Gigi and I turning a cartwheel on a cool, summer day.
If you happen to say or do something that is not well received by all, you should not, on that account, set yourself to examine and scrutinize all your words and actions ; for there is no doubt that it is self-love which makes us anxious to know whether what we have said or done is approved or not. Simplicity does not run after its actions, but leaves the result of them to Divine Providence, which it follows above all things, turning neither to the right nor to the left, but simply going on its way. - St. Francis de Sales
