Stop Doing This One Thing if You Want To Be Happy

We are social creatures, and we live in a society which is highly influenced by herd mentality. So, in order to live in this society, we tend to follow the behaviors and standards set by the people in society. It's okay to follow these standards as long as the decisions of your life are not determined by how people around you will interpret them or react to them.

I have seen many people who only care about making others happy and trying to please them. They see themselves through the lens of others. They seek approval from others even for the smallest decisions of their lives. They have lost their confidence and self-esteem and no longer trust themselves and their feelings. Their happiness is at the mercy of people they cannot control.

Don't try to make everyone happy; you can't. The only ones who try are clowns. — Matshona Dhliwayo

People are so much impacted by their peers that they are even afraid to follow their own dreams and desires. They always want to do things that will please everyone around them, regardless of whether they like it or not. They seek validation from others and are always afraid of losing others if they fail to do so. Their actions are influenced by how people will think about them. They live in despair to make others happy. What is the use of that life?

Life is too short to let other people define you or take your decisions. Life is too short to please everyone around you and care for their happiness. You need to take charge of your life and stop letting others decide what happens to you. Stop trying to be a chocolate fudge cake; people will eat you up. You are losing your happiness in making others happy. If you continue living this way, you will always be miserable.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. — Steve Jobs

You worry about losing people in your life because you can't please them. But what about you? What if you lose yourself my friend? You are a great and unique creation of God, and you have the right to live your life your way. Don't lose yourself in gaining others. You must care for others, but their happiness is never your responsibility.

It is always better to lose others than to lose your true self. It is always better to be happy yourself than try to make everyone else happy.

Always remember, you are not responsible for the happiness of others, but you are the only one who is responsible for your own happiness. So, forget about what others will think; just play your own game the way you want.

There is nothing wrong with living your life your way on your terms. Always remember, no matter what you do, some people will never like it. They will never accept it. They will always criticize it or complain about it.

You just cannot make everyone happy, even your closest people in the family or loved ones or your very dear friends. This is the reality of life, and you have to live with it. So, if you are trying to please everyone around you, your peace and happiness are at stake.

If you want to be happy, stop pleasing everyone.

Do what you want to do, do your best and be yourself. It is better to live happily living a life you love rather than living someone else's life and always regretting it. So, follow your heart as it knows the way. It will always take you in the right direction.
