The Poison of People Pleasing

I'm that girl that's always coming up with ideas. I feel so inspired in that moment right before I tell someone about it and they aren't impressed. That feeling when someone doesn't see the greatness in your golden plan has always been degrading for me when it shouldn't.
That shows a lot about who I've been: people pleasing at its finest.

Doubt will ruin your inspiration. But you're in control. Don't let it.

People are not the deciding factor to your inspiration. Your ideas and plans will not please everyone. You're mind is beautiful. What you have is like no one else. Do not stifle your calling and inspirations just because they are different from someone else's. You're opinion is important too. Ask questions. Let whatever inspires you, inspire you. Don't become a copy of everyone else just to please them. You are important.

Do yourself and everyone else a favor and BE YOU.

Dear Me,

Take your own advice.
You've been finding worth in how other people think of you and your brain; your everything. Then when one person comes along and doesn't like you for you, it's the end of the world and you are so convinced that you don't do anything right.
Crying in your bed because someone called you a monster when you wanted to talk about yourself for once... there's no reason to take that to heart. You're a kindhearted person. I'm glad that you're finally learning to take care of yourself and find your whole worth in Jesus instead of "helping" the lost sheep. Still do that, just don't let them trample you. You get up and run ahead, showing them the way to the Good Shepard.

I've done my yelling at myself publicly. Now it's time to actually do what I know I need to do and stop with the people pleasing.
