Albert Camus said, “To be happy, we must not be too concern with others.” You have a lot of positive things to worry about, not other people’s opinions.

If you want to be happy, do what makes you happy. Be around happy and positive people. Don’t waste your time trying to make other people happy. Make yourself happy. Don’t try to please everybody. Trying to please everybody is like trying to cook your food without water.

The only person you can please is you. The only person you can control is you. Because you are responsible for your own life. Make your life the way you want it. Don’t explain your life to negative people. They will add nothing your life. Instead, they will poison your mind. It is your life. If you want to live it well, you must do whatever you can to stay away from people who are not adding anything to your life.

“It is better to praise yourself than to belittle yourself.”

Don’t explain your life. Live it. Follow your dreams. Don’t become what other people want you to be. Instead, try to become who you really want to be. With hard work, you can become who you were created to be. God created you for a purpose. And that purpose should be your drive, not people’e opinions. God has a plan for your life. Listen to God. Follow God. Look up to God, not to man. Because God will never fail you. He has done it for you before. If you follow Him, he will repeat it again.

You can become who God created you to be. You do that by giving yourself to yourself. Michel de Montaigne said, “Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.” Don’t allow other people to live your life for you. Live your life yourself. That is how God wants you to live your life.

Michel de Montaigne said, “Don’t discuss yourself, for you are bound to lose; if you belittle yourself, you are believed; if you praise yourself, you are disbelieved.” No matter what, it is better to praise yourself than to belittle yourself. God wants you to praise yourself. And you should always praise yourself. You should never put yourself down. God wants you to go up. People want you to go down. Choose God, not people.

Don’t Give Up On Yourself

Giving up on yourself is not the right thing to do. You have your life to live. You must continue to fight for what you want. Look for life and success, and you find them wherever you go. Look for life and joy, and you will find them everywhere. Look for happiness and greatness, and they will follow you.

On the other hand, if you look for failure, you will find it. If you focus on your mistakes, you will notice them. Do not give up on yourself. You deserve to live your life. You feel better about yourself when you focus on your life. Don’t use negative words to describe your life. Don’t say, “I am not good enough. I am not smart. I am poor.” Don’t do it. Because the words you use to describe yourself is shaping the world around you.

No matter what, always use positive words to describe your life. But you must allow yourself to live your life. To put simply, “Free yourself from yourself.”
