about being a people pleaser

Tweet

The thing about being a people-pleaser is that inability to freely accept that not all people can be pleased and that there will be always be something said about you whether or not you have done anything pleasing at all. But being the people-pleaser that you are, you have also the power to turn that inability into something constructive, like building a higher self-esteem or striving harder to get better. It is not all the time that you have to be eaten by your fear of rejection. You can always get up and fight, and show the rest of the world what you've got. You can begin by not listening to every opinion that other people have on you. Know that "whatever they think about you is already their witness." And for all u know, those who give the nastiest comments are those who have the biggest insecurities. You can bet yourass that that observation is one hundred and one percent accurate. Because those people do not have what it takes to do the things u can do woulds always try to pick on you because they cannot outshine you. Love it. For an empowered woman once said, "If you love yourself, other people will have no choice but to accept you." And that's the fight you must stand up to. -quotes by Jada Pinkket Smith on the OPRAH Show for the topc-- At Risk Youth
