You Can’t Make Everyone Happy

11/25/2010

So don’t even try.
Trying to will only affect you in a negative way.

You Spin Me

This is for all of you out there that get hung up on anxiety like I sometimes do. You just have to take a breath and move on, you have to keep doing what you know you should be doing.

No matter what you do and how amazing it may be, not everyone will like it. There will always be someone who doesn’t like what you do. You can’t make everyone happy. No matter how sweet, out-going and approachable you are, some people are not going to get along with you.

So forget about them. Don’t sweat it. If you try to make everyone happy you’re going to find out down the road eventually that you cannot and that you could instead of been making yourself and those who mean a lot to you happy.

So if you are doing something you love, keep doing it. Passion pays off. If I would have stopped what I was doing at the first NO I got I wouldn’t be living the life I love now. I wouldn’t be doing the things I love to do on and offline, living where I want to live, with whom I want to live with.

“You have to forget about what other people say, when you’re supposed to die, or when you’re supposed to be loving. You have to forget about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.”
~ Jimi Hendrix

    Thanks. I needed to know I wasn’t the only one that had anxiety like this. I recently married and I’m finding it hard to fit in with my husband’s friends. It’s like they are always watching to see if I screw up. They were friends with his last wife who passed away so I have tried hard to get along but they always find something wrong with me. You helped me with your comments and I’m going to follow the example. It’s time to just be me and let their nastiness roll off of me.

      I’m so sorry to hear that, Cathy. I don’t know how I never saw this response. I hate the to hear that they are also saying comments to you. What? I hope this has gotten better. 🙁
