What do you put out into the world and what is your motivation? Are you putting things out to the world from what I believe is the right place - to help, uplift and from a place which has other people's best interests are heart. Or are you trying to people please, seek approval and prove yourself to others?
Firstly you have nothing to prove - you are enough as you are.
Secondly, it is really normal and human to want to impress and come from this place. It is hard because of social media and competition and when we see others doing it, we just latch on and do the same as we are influenced by society and expectations.
Thirdly, we may not even be aware that we might be coming from the wrong place or intentions as we are human and it is natural to want to try and impress and other emotions easily get mixed in.
The important thing is that we try to come from the best place and we make the switch when we notice. Sometimes we need a nudge or some inspiration to do this as ultimately isn't good for our wellbeing, the wellbeing of others or the world. Coming from the wrong place backfires on us whereas coming from a place of genuinely wanting to help just has so much goodness in it.
We are all a working progress and will never get it right every time but it is important to make it a priority. Some people go through life without even caring about this, so the fact you even care is amazing and it is totally a case of progress over perfection.
I believe what is really important in life is for us to be less self centred and more compassionate, kind to ourselves and others and create connection. Our values have more depth to them than just trying to impress others and sometimes we forget this so I hope this is your reminder to choose to come from this place.
