Pleasing the World vs. Pleasing Yourself
When a woman finally learns that pleasing the world is impossible, she becomes free to learn how to please herself.
- Glennon Doyle
I knew pleasing the world was impossible, but I sure as hell tried.
And even when I knew it was a futile attempt, I had no idea how to just let it all go.
I would walk around thinking I should just give less f*cks, then beat myself up for still caring about what other people might think.
Thinking that I SHOULDN’T care just became another judgement.
If you’ve worried before about what other people think—congratulations! You are a healthy human and not a total psychopath.
We are wired to be tuned into others, to want to belong, to assimilate to the group. There’s nothing wrong with that—-to a point.
But when we get so lost in that noise that we forget how to please ourselves, then we have a problem.
That’s when our light starts to dim.
It can feel overwhelming to unpack it all and to let go of what the world expects, but I promise you there IS a way. Visit here to learn more about how we can work together to get you started on the road to pleasing yourself.
