[Meditation Q&A] Is it possible to erase or lessen our karma in this lifetime?

I Want to be Recognized by Others.

It’s your desire to be seen in a positive light by others, but others will have their own feelings on how they perceive you.
Wanting others to perceive you in a certain way is your attempt to try and control how others feel. 
You will feel freer and lighter simply by accepting that others get to choose how they perceive you.
