Please Yourself First

When you live your life seeking only the approval of others, you will not likely find it. 

Some are inclined to criticize whether or not there is a reason. For some it gives them a sense of superiority and artificially raises their self-esteem. 

There are those who are determined, no matter what the circumstances, to be unhappy and displeased with the situations and people around them.

Do not envy them, even if they are in a position of power or appear to be successful.

When you live your life for others, you will lose yourself. This is a terrible experience and one you do not want, even if you could make everyone around you happy.

You can only do your work, both physical and spiritual to the best of your ability and when you have done that, be proud, and move on to the next step.

There are simply too many people in the world to keep happy all the time. This is not  your assignment on Earth.

Do your best and make yourself happy. Others will flock to you and want to know the secret of your competence, and creativity.

When you release the need to be a "people pleaser" you will find a freedom and joy that can never compare to a smile on someone else's face.

Look in the mirror and admire your own smile. It is truly a thing of beauty. ~Silas
