When Trying To Please Everybody In Your Life Becomes A Danger To Your Soul

Sometime you just need a little honest advice. Trying to please everybody is not an easy job! You go the extra mile for your friends, neighbors, family, co-workers, supervisors....because you naturally have a kind heart and you don't want to disappoint them. Women are naturally born caretakers and we think that if we don't do this or that for them that nobody else will, or that they will be angry with us for not catering to them, so we do our best to make them happy while putting our own happiness and well being on the back burner. But there comes a time when you just have to learn how say "no", or how to "voice your disapproval not wanting to do something" in an appropriate manner which won't offend. I'm not saying that as Christians or caring mom's that we shouldn't go out of the way for our family or friends sometimes, but at the same time we have to be careful that we're not getting in the way of God trying to teach them a lesson about life, growth and responsibility. And above all we have got to come to a point in our life to where we stop being a doormat, learn how to speak up, and get rid of "the disease to please!"
