Join Laura Kleinschmidt and her guest, Laura Michaels, as they look at how they tend to want to please people in different situations. They also dig deep to see what the "root" of their people pleasing is. How can they get free from this? A few of our favorite quotes:
- "How you view yourself, is sometimes framed by how you think other people view you."
- "The people pleasing scenario that bugs me the most is....When I tried my hardest to do the right thing or please someone and then they thought my intention was something else."
- "So putting faith in what other people think of me or trying to control what other people think of me, that's just like building a house on the sand. I want to build my house on the rock."
00:57 Laura M's small slice of life
03:27 Explaining over-explaining
04:28 Wanting others to be happy with what we are doing.
05:15 Laura K's small slice of life
08:17 Fearing how others think of us.
09:19 Remembering where I get our identity from, rather than focusing on how I perform or what others think....this is good.
13:33 People say "let go" but how do you do that?
14:10 Where to find safety when feeling ensnared by people please, like the jaws of an animal trap.
17:11 The freeing up of "wasted mental space."
19:33 Putting my hope in something firm, frees me up to not worry so much about what others are thinking
19:47 The rock is Christ, and that's what is so good.
