Resilience.
I lost myself trying to please everyone.
When you're too focused on living up to other people's standards, you aren't spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge.
When someone decides to please another person simply because it gives them pleasure to do so, it becomes a choice and not an obligation. On the other hand, pleasing someone out of FEAR of not being loved or appearing egotistical creates expectations on both sides and generates a feeling of guilt. Wouldn't you rather be living a life of true love?
