People Pleasing vs. Service

People pleasing means you need the praise, the thanks, the gold star, the grade in order to feel good enough and believe that you matter. You are waiting on someone else to award you with proof of your significance and your value.

But people pleasing is a shell game.

You can only ever know your own thoughts and experience your own feelings. You are the ONLY one who decides if you’re doing a good job, serving well, making an impact.
