Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is: People-Pleasing For some of us, people-pleasing has become a way of getting our needs and wants met. But people-pleasing is manipulative and condescending. And it cheats us. When we are busy pleasing others, we are not being true to ourselves (nor those we are pleasing). Rather than manipulating people, let us simply ask for what we need and want. We are all lovable and deserving, just as we are. We can truly please ourselves and others by simply being ourselves. Do I ask honestly for what I want or need today? Thought for the Day The path to true connection is to be myself. The path to getting what I need is to ask for it.
