People-pleasing does not make sense
People-pleasing was a thing when our ancestors had no other option but to belong to a tribe
The tribe protected them from wild animals and any other dangers
But we live in the modern age
So, why do we still need to possess the habit of people-pleasing?
Why do the things that do not necessarily benefit us and put others before us?
That’s unfair!
So, stand up for yourself and own your space; speak your truth
We are so caught up in wondering how the other person will feel if we put ourselves first
But why do we forget to question whether or not we are happy?
Why do we have to sacrifice our happiness for the sake of others who do not care about our state of happiness?
I hope 2022 is finally that year where I can train my mind to choose me over anyone else, and I hope you can too.
