Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of self-approval over seeking validation from others. While it is possible to gain the approval of others by doing the right thing and putting in effort, the satisfaction and value of one's own approval far surpasses it.

It implies that true fulfillment comes from finding a sense of self-worth and satisfaction within oneself, rather than relying on external validation.
