Day 415

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  There are always people in our lives that we think we need to please or impress, when in all actuality we don't need to have anything to do with. They have nothing to do with any other actual part of our lives.  Maybe it is someone we work with, and the only time we see them is at work, so yes maybe they are involved in your life, but don't let your life revolve around impressing them.  There may be people at school that you know what, in a few years, you may never see again.  There are people everywhere, that really don't care anything about you, that you are worried about what they think about you, that you are worried about they are talking about you.  When they either have no idea who you are, or are talking good about you, or are talking crap about you.  What other people think of you should have no effect on how you act or behave. Now I'm not saying you should quit caring for people, or do whatever you want, because people don't matter, but you know what I mean.  Be you, be who God created you to be.  Be nothing more, be nothing less.  Quit stressing about it.  And I'm not just telling you this.  I'm telling ME this.  :)  That's all I got for today!  Have a great one!
