I had lunch yesterday with my awesome friend Stacey. She always makes me laugh with her directness. You never have to worry about knowing what she thinks as she says it “like it is”. No unspoken agenda for her. She is so refreshing. So many times in life there are unsaid or unwritten agendas taking place behind your back and one day you wake up to a world you never anticipated. We can get caught up in our own little world and lose perspective. Today I need to see a bigger world picture. I am not sure which window to look out to see this bigger world!

As a society we are all people pleaser, modifying our behavior to suit the perceived needs of others. Of course, this modification is also designed to please us, in that we want recognition and validation from the outside. Without this external feedback we experience a lack of direction and personal substance.
What this dependency denotes is that we spend our life looking to others to give us both a sense of purpose and a sense of self. This is the legacy we pass down through the generations; the legacy of self-ignorance.
