Can I focus on how I want others to feel about me?

When I focus on the feeling that I am seeking within can I focus on how I want others to feel about me?

This is a common desire, but how people perceive you is out of your control.  When you pick your final core value that you wish to connect with, focus on the desired feeling within that you are seeking.  If you picked courage what are you looking for within?  Peace? Satisfaction? Calm?  If you pick courage and then look for the feeling of other's approval for example, can you see how you are giving your power away to others?  If you are looking for peace within can you see how you are empowering yourself?  See the difference?
