People Pleasing

Change YOUR programming & repeat after me: “It is not my job to make other people happy. It is solely my job to make me happy” 😃
💯You know what meme is annoying to me? The one that says “you can give everything to someone and they will have the audacity to say they never asked for it” 👈🏼👈🏾 this shit, is emotional bypassing and it’s only hurting you.
🤟🏼When we give of ourselves, we are meant to do it from a place of humility. If we give, then wait for our thank you, then the only thing you are feeding is your programming for external validation - not, the other person’s happiness.
☄️You are not special because you sacrifice yourself for others at the expense of yourself. Yeah, I said it. Don’t play me with the “mask of false selflessness”
🌟When we give, and EXPECT others to be grateful, we create the ATTACHMENT of expectation that removes much of the intended love from the initial act, and leaves us WANTING in expectation for our virtue signalled #goldstar
🌈Your job, is to make you happy. To give, without expectation. To live in the glory of happiness - taking, giving, loving, needing, and flowing seemlessly, without expectation of “what you deserve” or “how people will see you”.
🤗Give - and, do it freely, without expectation, without gold stars, without recognition, plaques, or even the expectation of a thank you.
🤗Give - because it makes you happy. #selflessandselfish (yes, it’s a thing) Give - because it makes you happy to see others thrive, survive and find their happiness.
Give - because your heart has so much love, why wouldn’t you want to share it with the world? (Because you can always make MORE love)

❤️Love You, #sohard
