Can't believe that this is the first post of 2015...
I have failed in trying to get my thoughts out here.
So I reach to Oprah...
LOL
It is emotionally traumatizing to wonder what someone would think about you if you made a certain decision or choice to pursue...this "disease to please"is real.
I think we all suffer from this disease...we want so badly to fit in, to make someone proud of us. I lived my life so completely in wanting to do the right thing, to please each and every one I came in contact with...it was only til I completed a round with a therapist that I found that it was MY life to live and that I am the one who can find happiness because are we really happy if we are living OUR lives for other's happiness all the time? I think the answer would be NO deep down.
However, I settle into this disease SO easily. SO quickly. And it is in AH HA moments that I find the need to separate myself, gently reminding myself that it is okay to change...ignore the inner critic that is telling you no and remind yourself of why you are here.
Am I saying that you should be selfish...NO.
I am saying that it is YOUR life to lead. Your path to chart. Your heart to feed. Choose with intention and not lead a life of fear.
But these words are so powerful and eye-opening.
What do you want your actions to say...how do your actions communicate to others...so important to think about that prior to a choice...
But as one of my mentors once said...once you make that decision...make the decision and do not second guess..don't look back...
And it is OK.
It is your life to lead FULLY and imaginatively!!!
