People Pleasing

As I move through this day, I will remain conscious of the times and ways in which I try to people please.  Am I focused on making you happy to avoid conflict or am I focused on being in my own integrity?  If I surrender my thoughts to agree with you and squash down my feelings to get along with you and set aside my needs to meet yours, I may discover that I am living your life and disregarding my own. There is enough room for me to acknowledge and respect you and also to allow myself to be me.
