woah

Here's a quote I just heard on a podcast in a discussion of our identity and purpose. I don't know who originally said it.

"Your job is the relentless pursuit of who God made you to be. There is a word for when you do things other than what God has called you to do and be: sin. Are you trying to please people or are you being true to who you are?"

I so quickly fall back into a people pleasing mentality, even though I know better. Even though I've heard this same message in different ways so many times. Why is this so hard for us to understand and live?
