True to Your Heart

Do you live to please others or you live to please yourself?

I ask myself this question every night when I’m in bed and every morning when I wake up. But I can’t seem find the right answer.  I tried to find the answer through other people but I always ended up confused.  Some people live their lives to please others while some don’t give a damn what others are thinking about themselves.

I know a few people who always put others before themselves. Who always think what others might think whenever they want to make decisions in their life.  What will their partners say? What will their parents say?  What will their neighbours say?  What will strangers say (??).  I also know those who just do whatever they like even though they know it pretty well that society will give them the are-you-out-of-your-mind looks.  They just driven by their instincts to do it and they have the strong will to turn deaf ears to whatever complaints made towards them.  It’s like they have this shell that protects them from any harm.  So which group do I belong to?

It’s really painful if we’re trying to please everyone because the truth is, we can never please everyone.  My intention was to make sure everyone happy with my decision but I was wrong. Then I tried to ignore them in every decision I made and that was wrong too.  I thought that since I can’t please everyone so why bother?  I would say I got myself in pretty bad disaster for that.  I thought I did the right thing by following what my heart wanted but in reality, I almost lost everything I have.  So now, I will put myself before others but I will still consider others in my decision, but not everything. Because it’s my life and it’s up to me how I’m gonna live my life…..

Peace out.
