“Please remember that pleasing another is not the same as caring for another.”
~ Debbie Ford
You know, my friend, it just may be that what someone else wants from you is ultimately not good for them. And what do you do when you understand that but they don’t? Saying “No” would not please them, would it? But saying “Yes” might harm them. Right?
You know what the truly caring act is. Can you be strong enough to disappoint them? Can you honor your truth even if it means displeasing them?
Challenging, isn’t it? Well, my friend, which one sits best with your conscience?
That’s the one you go with. But please, do so from your heart.
