I also wished I had learned this lesson at an earlier age. I spent my twenties basically on hold and didn’t come into my own until my early thirties when I learned to finally put myself first. I have a 19-year-old niece who is very much the same way if not more so…..tries to keep a fragile sister safe and her quarreling parents from killing each other. I hope I can help her down this same path.

Your posts are always thought-provoking. Thanks!

i can say that as a mother in my 20's, i am a people pleaser. i never want people to be mad at me so i rarely stand up to people or stand my ground. and people walk all over me because of it. including my husband. and he's so used to me being a doormat that he gets angry when i stand up for myself. but when i let other people walk all over me he tells me that i need to grow some balls (um, ok). it's really irritating at best and at worst it's depressing. it's something that i know i have to change but where do you start? when you have been a doormat all your life, how do you get off the floor?

You may not be a self-help person, but you are certainly into personal development Cheryl. You grow and help others grow through your Satirical blogging style. You really hit some key points of life on my many days.

As for happiness, I don't think that it is something that you find. It is living your best and when you live your best you're happy. When you don't. You're not.

Am I happy? I believe so.

Putting myself first has been a struggle. I do it better at some points in life rather than others. But my son always comes a close second. As I get older, I am realizing, if I don't take care of myself, then how will I take care of him?

I enjoy being happy,helping out when needed. It's easy to be miserable , I choose not to. Also don't mistake my kindness for weakness , its sad when people do.
Be happy with yourself and everything else falls into place.
Great post!

Great post.
People pleasing is not a female exclusive.
Finding happiness inside yourself is easy when
your self esteem is content.
I'm OK, You're OK.
it is the rest of the world that needs our prayers.

Nothing bad about feeling complacent. Plus, if you hadn't reposted this, Blondie my friend, lots of us, including me, wouldn't have seen it! Like Joanna, I was overwhelmed with unhappiness and negativity before I could begin to even see I needed to get unstuck. Boy, it sure isn't easy, but I have made progress in the past 3 years. FORWARD!!!!

Thanks for sharing Cheryl…
I found true happiness when I stopped trying to be perfect. It is so liberating!
And like I always say, nobody likes a perfect person. We like people who can admit their faults and laugh at themselves… who have the courage to go after what they want, knowing they might have to climb a few hurdles to get there.

I know this may sound corney…I’ve found happiness in myself. When I learned that when I’m happy “home is happy” I stopped trying to please EVERYBODY. Today I realize and accept who I truly am!
