Stop people pleasing! Have you ever said yes to something you really wanted to say no to? Same... While it's good to help others, but it's important we use our discernment to understand whether someone is using us or not. People will really do what you allow and more if you allow them to. Being a people pleaser all my life, I understand that it seems so hard to disappoint others, but it is what it is because people will either hate you or love you. We can't please everyone. That's not our job. It is so easy to get caught up in taking care of others, we forget about ourselves and that's not okay. Learn to say no because it is 100% okay to choose yourself too because I always say you can't pour from an empty cup. Now this is not an overnight process because I have been working on this for a while and still have my times where I slip... no one is perfect. Don't worry about others because honestly people are going to talk about you no matter what. No is also a complete sentence. There is no need to overexplain anything! SO those people who are taking your kindness for weakness... shake up their worlds by telling them no for a change and pay attention to how they start acting towards you after. Some people just want to take, take, take, but never give and that's not fair. Don't continuously put yourself last for people who don't care nor reciprocate.
Isaiah 40:31: "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint." This verse emphasizes the power of hope and reliance on God for renewed strength."
