In life, there will always be people who try to
squeeze you into their mold; people who try to pressure you into being who they
want you to be. They may be good people. They may mean well. But the problem is
that they aren’t your creator.
They didn’t breathe life into you. They didn’t
equip you, empower you or anoint you; If you’re going to be all that God
created you to be, you can’t focus on what everybody else thinks. If you change
with every criticism, trying to win the favor of others, then you’ll go through
life being manipulated and letting people squeeze you into their box. You have to realize that you can’t keep every
person happy.
You can’t make everyone like you. You’ll never
win over all of your critics.
Instead of trying to please people, when you get
up in the morning search your heart.
Stay focused on your goals. If people don’t
understand you, that’s okay. If you lose some friends because you wouldn’t let
them control you, they weren’t true friends anyway.
You don’t need other’s approval; Keep your heart
and mind submitted and be free from people pleasing!
