You Can't Please Everyone

"Don't lose yourself trying to be everything to everyone." Tony Gaskin\

 Maybe today, you are trying to please the people around you. You are trying to make them happy and give them everything that they need. You are trying to be everything to everyone. But listen, when you do this, I am sorry to say that you are never going to be able to please everybody, and not only that but, in the process of doing so, you are losing yourself.
 You see, it is hard not to try to please everyone around you, and yes, we still need to be kind to them, but when we try to please them and when we try to give everyone everything that they want, that is where we start to get into trouble. But why trouble? Why is it so bad? Well, it's not "bad," in fact, you are trying to do something good. But it is the point of pleasing that digs a deep pit for us. See, when we go around, trying to please and make everyone happy, we ultimately, aren't going to be able to do it, and this is going to lead to disappointment within ourselves. We are going to feel bad because we can't make the other people happy. But listen, this is not what God has for you! This isn't what He is wanting you to do. He created YOU, and He wants YOU to be happy! Yes, He still wants you to make other people happy, but when you are constantly trying to do so, you are gradually losing yourself, the self that God blessed you with.
 So today, what I want you to do is know that, you don't have to please everyone, in fact, you can't. But what you can do is do things that make YOU happy, and enjoy the life that God has blessed YOU with, instead to losing it to please other people...
