In the past, I did things for others. I moved to different parts of the country, dressed a certain way, engaged in certain activities, made certain friends, and lived my life for others. My self esteem was so low that I needed to please others, and meet their expectations of me in order to feel worthy. I began to realize this lately about myself, so I started to really observe my feelings in the present moment as I did these activities, dressed a certain way, and spent time with friends, etc.
I started to ask myself why am I involved and why am I doing this? As I began to look inward at my inner feelings about these things, what I discovered is this. There are certain people whose company I simply do not enjoy, but will tolerate and accept them in order to coexist with them on this earth. There are certain activities that I simply do not enjoy, because they are boring or too competitive. I now dress a certain way because it expresses who I am, and makes me feel good about me. Finally, if I choose to move somewhere this time around, it will be for me and not for someone else.
Being true to ourselves and being honest with ourselves about what we wish and want in our lives is important as long as we do not hurt others or do this in a hurtful way. For instance, we must not attempt to covet what others have or take from others. This is never acceptable behavior. We finally can be true to ourselves when we have healed our emotional wounds from our past, and improve our self esteem and worth.
