You Can’t Live Up To Other People’s Expectations

Do not try to live up to other people’s expectations. It won’t work. It is better to live up to your own expectations. Dream big. Set achievable goals for yourself.

If you want to win, know who you are.

Knowing yourself is more than just knowing what you like. Knowing yourself is not about what you like. It is about your value. It is about your own integrity. It is about your outlook on life. It is about how you treat yourself.

If you want to live a peaceful life, do not live to please other people. Do not try to live up to other people’s expectations. It is not what you are here to do. You can use your energy to make your life better, to love yourself, to treat others with love and respect. You can use your energy to discover who you really are.

Remember that self-discovery is a journey, not a destination. Be patient with yourself.
