You absolutely shouldn’t try to please everyone all the time. It’s just not worth it. Not only will you begin to live your life according to someone else’s standards, but you’ll deplete yourself of any sense of happiness or enthusiasm. Do what makes you happy and what pleases you. As long as you’re doing the right things with a good heart, that’s all that really matters.It’s hard to stay this course when you know that people are talking behind your back, or even in front of your face. People tend to enjoy saying things that hurt others. For one reason or another, it helps to elevate their egos and empower their bold personalities. It’s hard to turn the other cheek while people smite you on both sides. But you simply have to. There are a number of reasons why it’s impossible to please everyone, and while this information might not completely alleviate your worries, reduce your stress, or eliminate all your fears for pursuing your dreams, it will hopefully allow you to come to the realization that nobody will be completely pleased with your actions all the time.What’s important is that you do you. Don’t concern yourself with what others think you should do. Don’t allow that to impact the trajectory of your hopes and your dreams. Don’t allow that to diminish your spirit or change your direction of travel when it’s something that you’re deeply passionate about or have always wanted to do in your life.Never give up on your hopes and your dreams just because you’re trying to make others happy around you. To a certain extent, our family’s happiness is important. So is the happiness of our friends. But not beyond the extent that we start self-sacrificing all that we’ve ever wanted and hoped for in life.Don’t allow peer pressure to hold you back. Set your goals sky high. You can achieve anything you put your mind to. It doesn’t matter what other people say or think about you. As long as you’re doing what makes you happy, that’s what’s important. As long as, deep down inside, you’re sated, and you’re doing things for the right reasons with the right motivations, you should never feel sorry for it. And while there might be dozens of reasons why it’s impossible to please everyone. They cut down to the core of who we are. They help to highlight the importance of our own hopes and dreams, rather than trying to live some fabricated life just to please the other people that are around us. Never do that. Never.
