... Read moreThroughout my own journey, I have found that the desire to please others can often lead us away from our true purpose and inner peace. The statement “My main purpose in life is to make sure GOD is pleased with me... Not people” resonates deeply with many who struggle with external validation. Choosing to prioritize pleasing God above all means embracing values like integrity, humility, and love, even when they don’t align with popular opinion. For example, in moments of decision making, I ask myself whether my actions are in harmony with my spiritual beliefs rather than simply striving to meet others' expectations. This approach can be challenging because societal pressure often encourages us to seek approval from peers, family, or social media. However, I’ve noticed that focusing inward and committing to a higher spiritual purpose brings a sustained sense of fulfillment that fleeting human praise cannot offer. Moreover, living to please God helps in navigating life’s ups and downs with greater resilience and clarity. It encourages forgiveness and empathy, improving personal relationships without compromising one’s core values. In practical terms, incorporating daily reflections, prayer, or meditation helps reaffirm this focus. Surrounding oneself with a supportive community that shares similar beliefs can reinforce the motivation to live authentically according to one's faith. In sum, from my personal experience, shifting the motivation from pleasing people to pleasing God has been transformative, helping me live with more confidence, purpose, and peace.

Lemon8 made a mistake 😱
I won a challenge from Lemon8 and received not one, but two boxes of the makeup brush set I wanted. The challenge was only supposed to award one set, so getting two was a pleasant surprise. I'm thrilled, and so is my niece. Since I didn’t need the second set, I happily gave it to her. 🥰 #glow
