Every decision we take has an impact on us, and on those around us.
If we only consider one side of that equation, we’ll either become victims by denying ourselves of what we need in favour of pleasing everyone else, or we’ll become oppressors by pleasing ourselves and denying the rights of everyone else.
Finding a balance between the two brings us closer to experiencing joy in our lives.
When we find that we deny ourselves of what we need, it’s because we’re waiting for someone else to convince us that we’re worth it.
When we deny others what they need from us, we’re convinced that they don’t deserve us.
Both mindsets lead to an emptiness that is hard to understand.
Fulfilment and joy in life is found in striking a healthy balance between the two.
