Pleasing Other People Is Not Going To Take You To Where You Want To Be

If you do not want to be disappointed in your life, do not please other people. The reason is that you can never make everybody happy. There are some who will never agree with you, no matter who you are. They don’t care. And there are those who want more than you can give them.

So what are you going to do? Are you going to make them happy? Or are you going to focus on what you are doing, where you are, why you are here, and where you are going? Are you going to focus on your life? What are you going to do to make yourself happy? Remember, happiness is important to all of us. And that is why we are here.

If you are not happy with your life, with your work, do not blame it on anyone. Instead of blaming other people, why not take full responsibility for your life, for where you are, and for where you want to be? Blaming other people won’t help you get better. The only thing it can do for you is to keep you where you are. Why? It takes your eyes off your development.

You can change your life. To do that, you must surround yourself with other happy people. And you must do what other happy people are doing. Why? Because hanging out with them is not enough to chnage your life. If you want anything to change, you must get to work. You must apply yourself. Period. You must face your own life. And you must stay away from people who are toxic, people who can poison your mind.

Do not follow negative people. Do not follow people who are just drifting through life, who are not going anywhere, who are not thinking the right thoughts, who are not building their lives. If you don’t want to be like them, you must avoid them. You must make your decision to separate yourself from them. And you must take your life more seriously. If you don’t, you are not going to achieve your greatness.

If you will separate yourself from negative people, you will achieve your greatness. You will make your life a masterpiece, not a mess. You can change your life, but not overnight. To change your life, you must feed your mind with positive thoughts, learn something that has the power to help you grow, something that has the power to move you closer to where you want to be.

That is life. Life is all about going, moving, changing. If you are not growing, it means you are doing something that you shouldn’t be doing. Everything is within your reach. The more you fight for what you want, the closer you are to getting it.

Is it going to be easy? No. It is not going to be easy. But you can do it. If you don’t do it, no one is going to do it for you. Why not start now, with what you have?

It Is Better To Do Something That Is Going To Help You Grow And Change The Direction Of Your Life

You can complain all you want. You can think negative thoughts all you want. But one thing is clear: If you want to get better in your life, you must do something that has the power to help you grow and change the direction of your life. That is what life is all about: growth.

If you are not growing, you are dying. Your life is yours to take care of. If you are not doing it, then you are wasting it. Life is precious. Do not waste it. Instead of wasting your time, why not use your time to do something productive, something that can change the direction of your life? Why not use it to grow yourself, to get rid of what is holding you back, to meet new people, to challenge yourself? Why not? What is wrong with that?

Isn’t that better than trying to please other people? Isn’t that better than trying to attract people who are not interested in you, trying to fit in? If you want to make the world a better place, it is better to start with yourself. Why is that? Without you, no one is going to be able to change your world.

So if you want a better world, you must start with yourself. You do that by being honest with yourself. When you are honest with yourself, you can fix anything in your life. When you are honest with your life, you will attract other honest people into your world.

If you do not like something in your life, you are the only person who can get rid of it. If you are struggling to get things done, don’t hang around people who are not getting things done. If you want to grow, you must keep moving. You must keep doing. And you must keep going.

If they don’t want to change, if they don’t want to grow, you can walk away. Walking away doesn’t mean they are not your friends. They are, but you are just sending a message to them that things need to change. Whether you like it or not, your life is going to change. It is either you change your life, or your situation is going to change your life. You must decide.

You have the power to decide which direction you want your change to go. No one is going to do that for you. You are the only person who has access to your personal account. If you want your account to reflect who you are, then you must take action. Things need to change. Taking action means changing something.

Are you going to like it? The answer is no. Because no one likes change. Why is that? Because change is hard. Change is uncertain. Change is not comfortable. And we all want to be comfortable. Who doesn’t want to be comfortable? If you are going to achieve your greatness, you must position yourself for greatness.
