It’s a natural survival strategy in childhood to want to please your caretakers, but living your life based on what you think will impress others in adulthood can seriously affect your well-being. While it’s delicious to bask in external approval, you’re the one who has to live with the results of your choices. When you’re out of alignment with your essential self, satisfaction eludes you. Learning to know what you want and live it is the key to well-being. When you’re honest about your feelings and act authentically, the people you attract will appreciate… 

The real you.
