Power

No matter how much we all want to be liked and accepted, it’s impossible to please everyone all the time.

Have you ever tried? If you’ve got any people-pleasing tendencies, you know the immense pressure that results from them. You run around in circles, walk on eggshells, trying to be everything that everyone expects you to be. And the harder you try to meet everyone’s expectations, the less pleased they seem to be.

I came across a great quote that stirred me up this morning:

“There is a giant asleep within every man. When that giant awakens, miracles happen.” Frederick Faust

We tend to think of ourselves in very limited ways sometimes. Besides forgetting the immense power that each of us has, we also tend to forget our wisdom and live our lives in a fog of forgetfulness.
