WHY YOU SHOULD NOT TRY TO PLEASE EVERYONE

It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you; for it is an emotional trap when you start worrying about what other people think.  Because the only time everybody's going to speak well of you is at your funeral!

Ø  There will always be people who hate you no matter how good you are

People like to hate no matter how good you think you are.  The more successful you become, the more haters will try to ruin your day. Stop caring about them. It’s actually really easy once you rationalize it all.

Ø  It is much easier for one to focus on the things that actually matter when they are not trying to please everyone.

There are so many things in the world that do matter and there is so much time to think about these things that matter, so don’t spend time contemplating over trivialities.  

Ø  We all have our own reality in life

As an individual you know who we are and what makes us happy; therefore let us concentrate on pleasing ourselves than putting more effort in satisfying other peoples’ egos.

Ø  We may not all think that life revolves around us, but we all like to be the protagonist of our story — and as the protagonist, we want attention. By trying to please everyone though, you’re only feeding their egos.

Ø  Those who truly care about you will appreciate you for who you are

They love you for being you. They don’t want you to please them all the time because they know that would require you to be someone you’re really not.

Those who want you to change and adhere to their rules are not worth it at all.  Let them learn to appreciate you for who you are. 

Ø  It is impossible to keep everyone pleased

Some people simply can’t be pleased no matter what you do.  They won’t be pleased because they either just don’t like you or they just don’t like your work.  And funny enough they may not have a specific reason why they don’t like you. 

Ø  Most people wont care or support you anyway so don’t bother yourself trying so hard to please everyone. 

Most of those people that you are trying so hard to please wont even offer you a hand when you need help. 

Some people think that they are better than others and they deserve to be pleased.  When, in reality, they couldn’t care less about you.

Ø  It is easier to succeed when you don’t focus so much on what people think about you

This doesn’t mean that you should ignore criticism.  Constructive criticism should be welcomed, because we can sometimes learn something from criticism, but haters don’t criticize — they insult.

Concentrate on doing things that make you happy as this will create a good environment even with the people around you and let them like you for who you are and not who you pretend to be.
