If you exist to diminish the real you in order to make people like you and treat you special, it is best to "do nothing, be nothing and say nothing."
If you exist to please God and live in His freedom from the mandates of worldly minds, then you will be your authentic self, growing and blooming more every year.
Praise God He is the source of our validation, no man, no woman, no expectations of others will be that source.
When Christ is our focus, it matters little what others expect of us, His principles are enough, they are fulfilling while bringing joy to our soul no matter what is going on around us.
When Christ is our guide, our attitude toward our fellow man will be right too.
Philippians 4:6-9
"6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Meditate on These Things
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you."
