I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone.- Bill Cosby
Sometimes the pressure to please our spouse, our boss, our family and friends, our church, our community can seem overwhelming. Take William Shakespeare's advise, "To thine own self be true." Your life and your choices are yours alone.
This is my life! I have tried to please my parents and gain their approval my whole life and have realized that I have lived my life according to what they wanted for me and lost myself. Now I am trying to find who I am at age 55. It is difficult to change course, but words and inspiration such as these remind me that I am unique to this world and ok. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI can relate to what Anonymous says. I have always been a "people pleaser" all my life. Trying to make everybody happy, even sacrificing myself. Very hard lesson to learn.
