Theirs no hard truth than this statement

Don't impress the people....

Life Is Too Short,

and We All Should Live It As Per Our WillThe truth about life is that we are all going to die sooner or later. It is an uncomfortable fact, but with time, it engrains the importance of living life on your own terms. It is true that all of us have seen people who spend their lives crumpled in seeking validation or admiration from others around them. No matter how hard they try, they end up thinking that elements of greatness are present in the eyes of people and not within the individuals themselves. Which is indeed a false perception and in fact the core of my healthy living angle.

The moment I realised that life is too short and concepts such as self-opinion and paving your own path are essential concepts, my focus shifted towards being painfully honest with myself and others. Some of us have this weird notion that self-doubt is an indication of our success or of our great existence. So why not nab yourself of being free and give your heart an opinion on what it feels like to be free?This type of confidence, on the other hand, is a proof of maturity. It means that you appreciate yourself and do not depend on others to feel good about yourself.

But here is the tricky part: While on the surface it sounds good to say, `Don’t try to please anyone,’ the truth is it is very complicated to please people. Appreciating someone’s affection or deep respect needs nurturing, care, and time.The Difference between Loving Someone and Impressing SomeoneFor many people, impressing others is about showing off or doing things just for the sake of being noticed.

However, love is certainly different. True love pours out of kindness, honesty, and care. It does not matter how hard you try; there is no way to forcibly make someone love you. When people can see you for who you are, that is when respect and true love come naturally.The ones who love you for real can never let go of your hand. They will always be there for you in good and bad times. These are the strongest bonds one makes throughout his/her lifetime. So instead of putting your time into trying to impress others, it is better to put that time into being yourself and developing deeper relationships that matter.

Happiness Is Not Always EasyWe cannot always expect to be constantly joyful, as life has its ups and downs; thus, it is one of the truths that I have come to understand. People are the same way. Some people will make you happy, while others might be upsetting or hurtful; some might even get into arguments with you. That’s completely fine because every single one of us is unique and does things in their own specific way.I believe you have to give everyone respect that is due to them because that is a part of who they are, even when it comes to disagreeing with them.

This might be done so that they can help other individuals, but not every single person that you meet in your lifetime will assist you. There is no such medicine, or, so to say, pill, which will make sure every single person lives an ideal life, just as there is no medicine that will cure any and all disease.The Power of HumanityAfter all, everyone is human. And we are all humans that encompass one singular word, and with that comes responsibilities, which is to be kind to one another. But we also have to keep in mind we aren’t in control of everything.

We need to be loving and understanding; there’s an area where we cannot reach, and that is the area of love for everyone.Rather than pursuing the improbable, what’s whipping your neck away from everyone else are the ones who already hold some regard for you. These are going to be the ones who are always going to stand by you through thick and thin. Such bonds should be nurtured, and the wish of pleasing all others should be forgotten

Concluding RemarksIt’s not worth living a life focused on being remembered by people who may not be in your life for too long. One has to have faith in themselves and their abilities, but that is only once they know the depth of their worth. It is not about being loved by all; it is about being loved by the right ones and ensuring that you do not lose them.Togetherness isn’t guaranteed forever, and not every single person in your company will bring an ounce of joy to your life. But if you appreciate others and work hard to develop real relationships, then people find solace. Did you ever stop to think that people who get you, love you, and won’t ever leave? Well, that’s what really counts.
