How to Stop Being a People Pleaser Book Excerpt
Are you tired of suffering from the disease to please?
If you are, learn from Bartimaeus.
As Jesus left Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging.
When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth Who was passing, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.”
Many people told him to hold his peace, but he cried all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me.”
Jesus then stood still and commanded him to be called. They called the blind man and said to him, “Be of good comfort, rise for He is calling you.”
Bartimaeus casting away his garment, rose and came to Jesus.
Jesus then said unto him, “What do you want Me to do for you?" and the blind man said replied, “Lord, that I might receive my sight.”
And Jesus said to him, “Go your way for your faith has made you whole.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus. (Mark 10:46-52)
Value Your Well-Being
The first thing you have to do to stop being a people pleaser is to value your physical, emotional, mental, and financial well-being.
In addition, you should not only value your well being but you should also place more importance on your well-being than on pleasing others so when you are faced with the choice of doing something that does not please those around you but is for your own good verses doing something that pleases them but is detrimental to your well-being, you will choose the option that is good for you.
To help you make the right decision always remind yourself that Barnabas would have remained a blind beggar if he had chosen to be a people pleaser and stopped calling out to Jesus when the crowd told to him to keep quiet.
Therefore, commit today to choosing the course of action that ensures well-being regardless of whether it displeases the masses.
