“You won’t figure out who you really are by pleasing people.” - Don Miller
So please only say yes to things when you really mean it, and say no when you don’t.
Don’t fall into the trap of living for the praise of people, because often they’re just as broken as we are, and words can be so cheap. So don’t let people pleasing take away who you truly are - it certainly ain’t the best for you.
Know your worth - it comes from within, not from how people accept or reject you.
Of course we want to serve and support the people around us, but let’s not compromise who we are to fit in, to be liked, to get attention, to earn people’s acceptance, to loose ourselves in the process of finding value externally.
You don’t have to prove yourself sweet one, you are worthy and valuable because you exist, not because of anything you do.
Let’s support and encourage the people around us. Yes! Let’s do what we can to make a difference. But let’s do it from the knowledge that we are MORE THAN ENOUGH, just as we are. Not when these people approve of us, but before we do a thing. Do it all from a place of worthiness - because you always are.
Who is a people pleaser? How is it hiding the real you? x
