Do you have a people pleaser person in your life? Maybe one that is recovering?
I fit the recovering people pleaser label. *what follows is only my current experience/pondering….so your path may differ*
I pretty much faced a hard truth this morning that is the start of a lot of thinking.
What dreams do I have for just me without wanting to please those in my life?
Can you imagine being in your late 30s and realizing the few dreams you have had weren’t really just for you? That so many components involved being something for someone else, constantly trying to reach some magic milestone that made you feel like just you was enough.
This path of mine to self discovery is definitely spiral shaped, each lesson having so many levels/layers that I need to sink into. Some of this dreamlessness makes me feel like I’ve been a sham to myself for so long, makes me question who I really am.
So if this is you as well, you aren’t alone.
Dreams can be created and realized at any age…but I’m going to really do some thinking on what I want for just me. Not a parent, not a spouse, not a sibling, not a child….just me. And I’m adding the further stipulation that this dream can’t be dependent on the actions/inactions of others.
