Stop Feeling Guilty

Another pieced shared by Martin Jalleh

STOP BEING A PLEASER!

Rev Fr Henri Nouwen

“For as long as you can remember,

you have been a pleaser,

depending on others to give you an identity.

You need not look at that

only in a negative way.

You wanted to give your heart to others,

and you did so quickly and easily.

But now you are being asked to

let go of all these self-made props

and trust that God is enough for you.

You must stop being a pleaser and

reclaim your identity as a free self.”

Below are my thoughts and not the continuation of the above =)

Yes we got to stop pleasing everyone. We are nice and kind and generally good, so we do not need others to make us feel that way. And stop feeling guilty if we dislike something or when we are unable to be kind or nice . Sometimes, not everyone click with everyone. I think by ignoring or have less contact is being nice already. We need to be happy and not force ourselves to please others when we can't. I hope I am making sense.

Good night world~
