This resonated with me so much because I am a recovering people-pleaser, slowly transforming into a God-pleaser. The journey is not easy. There are a lot of rejections, pushbacks, guilt-tripping, and a tendency to revert to my old self, that is, to keep the peace at all costs. However, gaining a lot of strength through all this, and the best part is getting closer to Jesus through the renewal of the mind. The journey is not smooth, but it is worth it.

Amen! I love this. So true. Thank you for putting it out there so that others can discover and recover a lot sooner than you or I did. God's blessings.
Absolutely spot on as always. That was me too. Still is, but i'm working on it. With God's help and guidance ive come a long way from where i was. Bless you Sarah xx
I needed to read/listen to this today. I have been a people pleaser probably my whole life.. just wanted to be enough or liked. But the negative side to wanting to make others happy is so draining, exhausting and takes away my peace. Saying NO is not easy for me because I feel quilt afterwards, i overthink my decision etc. But maybe I really need to start saying NO ...

I felt like I was replaying my own “unselfish nightmare”. At age 5, my beloved siblings ganged up on me and let me have it. “You’re so selfish!
Yeah, selfish”
“Yeah and we want nothing to do with you!”
“Yeah , nothing’
Then they turned all 4 and left.
Painful to experience. Long walk to 17 and graduation, why I love animals!!! And God…
