When our desire for affirmation is stronger than our desire for INSIGHT, we nullify our ability to benefit from HINDSIGHT and block our ability to gain FORESIGHT.

The thought behind the quote
What are you looking for?
Most people are craving affirmation by default. There is a desire that each of us has to be accepted/affirmed by others. What we need to be craving is INSIGHT.
Insight is the ability to understand complex situations that lead to profound solutions.
When you have INSIGHT, you are able to use the good, the bad, and the ugly of HINDSIGHT to gain FORESIGHT that will give you an advantage for achieving uncommon success in every area of your life.
Quit craving and needing the affirmation of others. Seek INSIGHT through reflection, introspection, and appreciation of lessons learned from others of how to be and not to be!
