I find so many people and I include myself who have or are always sacrificing there own wants and desires for what they think others want of them. I have lost years trying to be what other have wanted me to be or what I thought they wanted me to be.
Do you often give in to other people because you just can't stand the thought of upsetting them?
Do you put your needs to one side because you get a buzz from someone else's happiness, only to find that he or she is not a bit grateful?
If so, you are what is called a "people pleaser," and you are, in all probability, not getting what you want out of life.
So is it's time to shift the focus from others to yourself, and stop being a such a martyr?
Think of a time when you did or said something that did not truly reflect your wants or needs, in order to please someone else.
For each of these occasions, imagine how you would have handled it differently - to please yourself!
So what would be the worst that could have happened?
