Why will you be living your OWN life to impress others?

Why are you living against your will in order to please others?

Are you maintaining a false image?

Do you always neglect your goals so that you can be acceptable by people?



The only thing wrong with trying to please everyone is that there's always at least one person who will remain unhappy. That is YOU.

There are some people that spend above their earnings just to feel among. They have allowed themselves to be caught up in people's thoughts about them. 

This happens in dressing too. Even when you are happy with the way you dress (not indecent dressing), some people will still see you and pass wrong comments. I know we all have that one person that no matter how well you have dressed, they will still condemn your dressing. Is that the person you will continue troubling yourself to impress?

Some people will go extra mile to buy things such as cars, phones, houses and other material things so that others can say "your head is there". It's not that having all these things are bad but from the depth of your heart, what is the reason behind the buyings? Is it to make people notice you? Are you financially bouyant to buy all these or are you hurting yourself in buying them?

The funniest thing (maybe not funny) is that the person you are trying to please may not even notice you. They may just feel like it's a normal thing and will not commend you. Then, you  will be the one to be troubled.

Has it ever happened to you before? Maybe you just plait your hair and you are doing all you can so that people can admire you. Then boom! No one is saying anything or if anyone noticed, they just say, "Oh, you have made your hair.". At that point you will be like, "does this hair fit me at all?".

I quite understand that everybody needs to be appreciated but why don't you appreciate yourself first before others do so?

Unfortunately, some of the people that are involved in bad deeds today do so because they don't want to be left out among their peers. Some have done somethings (it might even be good) against their will due to the fact that they want to Impress others.

This impressing of people even goes beyond material things to spiritual things. Do you know that some people pray and fast so that they can impress? There are some that all their religion practices are for people to see them as being religious.

Stop living your life so that others can notice you; it will only end in unhappiness. The fact is that you can never please or satisfy everybody. Stop during things base on what people might say, rather do it because you want to. Your happiness also lies in what you love to do.

Manage what you have and BE CONTENTED.

Work on yourself to bring out the best in you.
