Sometimes things just feel good. It feels good to drink that first cup of coffee in the morning, even though it is usually way too strong. It feels good to wake up next to a cute little 4 year old who wants to snuggle. It feels good to send cute little messages to my youth on Facebook to let them know that I am thinking about them.
What makes a person feel good? What makes your heart happy? What makes you smile? These are often things that run through my brain. I am a people pleaser. I live to make people happy. More importantly and somewhat selfishly, it, in turn, makes me happy.
You know we are taught to love one another and the Golden Rule. I sometimes wish all rules were this easy.
Hmm. Of course then there is the ballpark that will say if you are constantly making other people happy, then you are not nurturing your own needs. Yeah, so those people can be very right (but I won't admit to that.) There are times when making people happy can be dangerous but I like to keep it to a healthy level.
I think the most important thing is to stay honest with yourself, meet your needs as needed, and along the way love the heck out of as many people as you can.
