your choices, your happiness, your life;

There were many times when I wanted to accomplish, or do things to satisfy others. This is a very common thing among people. We get the wrong idea that if we do something people like, or approve, it's okay. If they don't, we must be doing something wrong.

People shouldn't dictate the way we think, or the way we act. If we live by this rule, at the end we will be miserable. We will never do something because we feel like doing it. We will act like robots, with no other purpose but to satisfy others.

It's our lives. We do things for our own happiness, and if we make mistakes, it's fine, we move on and promise ourselves we'll never do them again. The bad or good consequences our actions bring come back to us and no one else. It won't affect others.

The people we were trying to impress won't suffer a bit from our consequences. We'll do.

Think more about yourself, your happiness. If you try to make someone else happy, instead of yourself first. You'll never be truly happy, it will be a momentary satisfaction, but nothing else. Nothing durable.
