When someone adores you, in their appreciation of you they're in alignment with source energy and they are flooding it all over you. And since its activated in them its activated in you, so you've got this really good thing going.. But then as you become dependent upon their appreciation of you in order to feel that way - when they withdraw their appreciation of you, and you haven't learned to connect to that source energy yourself, then you feel like a puppet that someone has let go of the strings. And so if you're a confident person, if you've shown yourself that you're free no matter what anyone else thinks, and that you can feel good no matter what's happening around you, if you've been practicing that unconditional love that says "I'm going to feel good because I wanna feel good, and I'm gonna scramble around by darn, and find something that's gonna make me feel good even in a field of things that don't feel good, because my connection to source matters to me more than all other things put together" - then nothing that anybody could ever do would set you off your game.
Your Inner Being is always guiding you toward what you are wanting. It is never protecting you from something else."
