Being celebrated and honored by the Applause of an audience is one of the most addicting experiences there is. It usually involves taking a risk of some kind, with a song, a speech, or a moment of extreme vulnerability. When the crowd jumps to their feet and hoots and hollers “bravo!”, the rush of acceptance and safety is incredible. I hope you experience it sometime, even often, in your life. But be cautious: like many other thrilling experiences, it can cause us to lose our perspective. Never forget that self-acceptance and self-love are far more important than the appreciation shown by a crowd of strangers.
