Daily writing prompt
What are your biggest challenges?

I think my biggest challenge is me. All my life I tried to please everyone and in the process pleased no one. It’s hard if not devastating to realize that you will never please the person or people closest to you no matter how hard you try. Therefore, my biggest challenge is me. I must do what is right for me and not worry about what others think about me and what I do. It’s surprising what happens when I stop worrying about what others think and pursue what’s best for me.

Am I making sense? Does someone get what I’m saying? Or am I talking to the wind.

Ever since I started answering these prompts, I wondered if I would get a response from someone. I’m doing my best to please people I don’t know and becoming frustrated because the only comment I get is a like when I do my best to comment on the posts I read.

Well, I’m not going to expect a response from you anymore. I’m going to answer the prompt and not become a challenge to me. Then maybe I can become less burdensome to me. After all, I am my biggest challenge.

    People pleasing, I know it well. I’ve learned that when I move to aligning my life to my values while sticking to my own side of the road, people pleasing lessons. It’s a difficult behaviour to change because I want to be liked, but not everyone is going to like me. It’s an ongoing behaviour I work on.
