FOR SOOOOO LONG I struggled with people pleasing and approval seeking!
I wanted to belong, I wanted to “fit in,” I wanted to he “chosen.” I desired genuine, authentic relationship, but somewhere in my story, I was taught that my efforts were currency and that love and acceptance weren’t freely given, but had to be purchased.
🏷If I work hard enough, they’ll value me. 🏷If I am consistent enough, they’ll trust me. 🏷If I’m always available, they’ll love me.
Today I am your friendly reminder that YOUR WORKS DO NOT DETERMINE YOUR WORTH!
Many of us are working too hard to “earn” the love and approval of others.
True relationship doesn’t come with a price tag. It’s not an if – then statement!
Anyone who values what you offer (your works) more than your person (who you are), does not deserve you!
We’re so busy working to get people to “choose us” that we forget the power of choice lies within us!
🗣Say this with me:
I AM valuable because I was born!
I MATTER because I exist!
I DESERVE love because I show love!
WHO I AM MATTERS MORE THAN WHAT I DO!
Replace approval seeking with self-love and you’ve got a building block for true relationship.
