What is a thought that can change your life?

When I Was 6 years old I remember having a distinct thought one Day. That if i were just kind to others or peers, that maybe they would a accept me. I lived in a house of severe chaos and abuse. That thought made me into a people pleaser the rest of my childhood years and up to now. It was a survival mechanism I know now. But if my entire life changed with one thought...i wonder what new thought could help heal me from the trauma I lived for So long. Pleasing others before yourself (and not believing you SHOULD be happy anyway ) leads to low self confidence and burnout. Any Thoughts that might be Something of truth that could allo w one to feel worth going forward?

I find for me it's other people's thoughts that have changed my life ,you are a perfect example. Maybe i post about my past or other issue and you respond with compassion and kindness .That is like cool water on a burn ,your thought of me when the world is throwing so many other things at us ,you had a thought for me . You do this because that's who you are and that makes you a very valuable part of this world .If we keep that in mind we can begin to see that not only are we good enough we are better than many of those around us .
