I've been working through Rick Warren's 'Best Messages' and recently listened to 'Escaping the people pleaser trap' which I found very helpful.
So many live in fear of disappointing others or feel the pressure of keeping up with the crowd and conforming to their opinions. We worry about the performance of our kids, the lives of other parents at the school gate, the opinions of colleagues and friends, the views of our boss and a whole host of other people who we let dictate how we react and feel and think.
I hope this message is a help if you find yourself falling into the people pleasing trap.
