Tearing Other People Down Will Never Make You Happy

Life is not about tearing other people down. It is not about making other people feel terrible about themselves. It is not about bringing other people down, taking what belongs to them. It is not about thinking negative thoughts about other people.

Life is about loving people. It is about showing them the way. It is about accepting them for who they are, not for what they can do for you.

If you want to get ahead in your own life, tearing other people down won’t get you there.

If you want to be happy in your life, beating other people down won’t get you there.

If you want to get better at what you are doing, tearing other people down won’t do it for you. Instead, it will make you even weaker.

If you want other people to love you, to follow you, to accept you for who you are, don’t tear them down.

That is life! If you don’t love them, they won’t love you. If you don’t care about them, they won’t care about you.

Before you go, remember this: If you want to go far in your life, you have got to learn how to carry other people along. You have got to lift other people up. Why?

Because no one is good enough to know everything.

Are They Really Thinking About You?

‘The only person thinking about if other people are thinking about you is you?’- Lia Garvin

No, they are not. They are not thinking about you. They are not after you. They are not after what you are doing. They are not after where you are. They are not after your failures, your mistakes. They are not.

Get over it. Do not dominate your life with other people’s opinions of you. Do not focus on what people are saying about you. It is not going to help you. It is going to hold you back from actually taking care of your life.

Do not waste your energy. It takes a lot of energy to think about what others are thinking about you. What if they are not thinking about you? What if they are just doing their own things? What if….?

Live your life. Focus on what is on your plate. Focus on what you are doing. Do not focus on what is not even happening. If you think other people are thinking about you, you are the one.
