need for the approval of others, be careful.
If you find yourself unwilling to

and have given your destiny to others.
An excessive need-for-approval
is a sign of low self-esteem,
and in severe cases, a condition termed co-dependency.

you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.
