I know that I have done this. I have attempted to please people by been the version of me that they wanted me to be. Sadly I did this for many years, because of the pressure to conform to somebody else’s idea of what I thought they wanted. Even though there were certain things that I would not compromise on, I still did as I was told by those that I gave that power to. The problem is no matter what I did for them they still did not want or accept me, because I was not the real thing. This made me unhappy, depressed and questioning if I had any value. Let me be clear here, many years have passed since that time, but I haven’t eradicated all of those parts of me that loves pleasing people. I am just more cautious with what I do now. I have found that when I put that pressure on myself that I need to do things a certain way the only one I want to please is my Heavenly Father. Of course I am not perfect so if I am challenged I will come out fighting with everything I have. Some things never change!! I admit I am far from perfect and perfect is not the point of this. If you have to be anybody other than yourself for others in your life then you are not being authentic. You are an original and Heavenly Father does have a plan for you, but you have to want that plan to take place. Heavenly Father has your best interests at heart others not so much. Some just use you for everything they can get out of you until they leave you with nothing. Heavenly Father never leaves you with nothing, he always takes care of you, always!! Lets trust him and his plan for us and become what he needs us to become.
