Stop Trying To Please Everyone
October 30th, 2008 — Rudy
It’s not uncommon a lot of people in this world trying to be someone they’re not, they even try to please other people just to get recognition, attention and approval. This is #1 misery people do in their life without reality and indeed this is the fastest route to unhappiness.
Instead of trying to get approval from others, you need to have your own self-approval by accepting yourself and your own heart. Accept that you’re unique and special. You shouldn’t concern too much what people think or thought around you. You should have this principal: If other people like you, it’s awesome. If other people don’t like you, you’re just fine.

Now, why do we have to stop pleasing everyone? Because it’s Impossible!! There are millions of people in this world with millions of ideas. Everyone has their own agenda and everyone follow “what it is on me” mind which means they only think or focus for himself. What they want is more important that you. So, why would you care what other people think about you then? Don’t take anything personally, it will make you easy prey in this world. Don’t be too emotionally attached with others, it will only dry you out and it will get your ego out which will be bad for your own. When people criticize you, it’s actually has nothing to do with you because it’s saying a lot about themselves than you.

This is the biggest secret of happiness: To stop think what other people think of you, instead start what you think of you. The key is to practice loving and accepting people without needing their approval.
