Do you associate being a “good person” with Godly, sweet or even superior? What does that even mean? Being selfless? Making fewer mistakes? Collecting brownie points for helping someone? Being a martyr or just doing something because you think it’ll earn you a halo doesn’t serve you OR other people. It’s an empty gesture because it doesn’t come from a pure, authentic place. The problem is, we have these ideas about what being “good” means, so we try to fit ourselves into that box and wonder why it doesn’t bring us joy.

You have to look at your motivation. People aren’t projects and you don’t win anything for being a “good person.” Learn why continuing with these inauthentic patterns can be painful and detrimental to your dreams. I’ll break this myth down and look at what’s behind it. I hope you’ll join me!
