“Never explain- your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyhow.”- Elbert Green Hubbard

You are bigger and better than what people are saying about you. Don’t worry about what people are saying about you. You should worry about what you are saying about yourself. You can’t make people like you. If you want to go great things, if you want to be happier, you must learn to live your life. Your life is too precious to worry about making other people happy. Start everything with yourself, but never explain.

If you want to make other people happy, you must first make yourself happy. Make yourself happy, then you can make other people happy. Don’t seek people’s approval. You don’t need it. You don’t need to hang out with the wrong people. You don’t need them. You just need the courage to believe in yourself. You just need the courage to break free from making everybody happy. So from now, you must protect your heart and soul. You must love yourself, love your mind, and your soul.

Allowing Yourself To Let Go Of What Is Making You Unhappy

To let in, you must first let out. If you want to live well, if you want to be happier, letting go is the way. To invite happiness into your life, you must let go of negative thoughts. To invite more love into your life, you must think love thoughts. To connect with yourself, you must let go of anger, hate, greed, jealousy, lust, fear, and unpleasant feelings.

Letting go heals. It transforms your life. It frees you. You let go of negative things because you want to free yourself. In order to really connect with your soul, you must practice the art of letting go. Sometimes you want to let go, but your ego says ‘don’t do it.’ Remember that you cannot live a better life without first destroying your ego. If you want to move forward in your life, you must destroy your ego. You must destroy your enemy: EGO. Detach from your ego and you will be free. In his book Joy on Demand: The Art of Discovering the Happiness Within, Chade-Meng Tan writes, “A person suffering from greed, hatred, anxiety, fear, lust, or other afflictive mental state is like she is holding a peace of burning hot coal in her hand. The solution? Just open the hand and let go of the hot coal.” Is it going to be easy, no. But you can do it.
