*143 - People Pleasing, Good Or Bad?

Did u ever thought before this question? Afraid of hurting ppl or so called pleasing others is an act of goodness or bring more harm to urself?

Frankly, i mostly put others before me... Nothing to brag about but i did it most of the time... And i was more a people pleaser before i learnt the world in the hard way...

No... We shouldn't hope for returns to help a person... Thus this isnt a question about how the person repay u... Its about wat favour others ask u for... If u'd been a YES man all this while... you should already notice something... People treat u like a doormate... Stepping above you... somewhat abused ur kindness by asking ridiculous request without thinking on your behalf...

There's a saying, "If you please everybody, you're pleasing nobody"... since there is always no perfect win-win solution... u cant satisfy everyone... there's always somebody to lose... its either one of them or YOU...

Sometimes we really got no choice but to embrace the art of saying no... Reminding others to think for other people isnt a bad thing at all...

Draw your line. Pleases the right people and kick those dracula's ass!
