About This Quote

I’ve never had anyone’s approval, so I’ve learned to live without it. This quote by John Lennon speaks about the fact that he never needed anyone’s approval to be happy, and that he has no need for it. He uses the word “approval” as though it is something someone else can give you, just like you would give your approval to someone else. People need the approval of other people in order for them to be happy.

That’s why this quote is so powerful. It tells the reader that you don’t need anyone’s approval to feel good about yourself.
