Growing up I thought it was a part time job of mine to make everyone happy. I have gradually come to realize that although I think I can, it is not physically possible. Throughout life you will run into people who are pleased by your presence and others who can truthfully care less.
The trick is not to let it get in your way or bother the mood you are in… You have to wake up and realize that sometimes you just aren’t good enough for people. You can be the most genuine person in the world but that doesn’t change how they feel about you. If you sit back and think about all of the times you sacrificed yourself for others its probably more times than you actually put yourself first. In the end it is honestly a waste of time when you look back at all the time spent trying to make others happy when they kept turning you down. Pleasing others is silly because that time could have been spent on doing things you like to do. While you are there stuck caring about others, the ones that don’t care are living their life and doing bigger and better things. That could be you, saving yourself the constant stress and worrying but instead you are relying on others to make you happy.
Why take time out of your day to please someone you mean nothing to? That may seem like a stupid question to ask but it is so true. You have to stop and do what’s best for your life because no one else cares about it. As much as you think everyone wants to please you or be there for you, eventually you realize that isn’t always the case. You have to realize that sometimes people will try to bring you down and you have to be able to let that go and realize that you are higher than them. No one ever has power over you except yourself so until you accept that put yourself first. No matter where you go, you will always find someone who doesn’t like you, or someone who judges you, or someone who is jealous of you but that doesn’t make you forget about who you are. It can be almost impossible to fully figure people out, they are so unpredictable and you will find out that it wasn’t worth it. So let go of all the pointless things that bring you down or cause you to worry and surround yourself with an atmosphere where you enjoy yourself and do things that make you happy.
