Make Yourself Happy

Putting others before yourself, trying to please everyone, or doing for everyone but yourself, we have all done it but when does it end. There are times that giving is more rewarding but there are also times when the giving gets taken for granted also. So how do we tell the difference between the appreciative people and the non appreciative people, the answer will be clear on how the person you do so much for treats you in return. Sometimes we have to let the people who don't always appreciate us learn on there own and realize for themselves how good they really have it. I have found myself in similar situations and eventually I realized that this is my life, I can't make everyone happy but instead I need to make myself happy. I have one life and I should be able to live my life for me, and not everyone else. So if you are trying to help everyone or you are putting other peoples happiness before your own happiness, stop and remember you can't always please everyone. However, you can please yourself and live to make yourself happy then in turn the people around you will be happy too. Do what you want to do and be who you want to be, do not let others control your destiny or have some kind of damper on your happiness. We as human beings have to learn that not everyone is going to be happy but if you want to be happy then that is something you have to do on your own in your own way. To make yourself happy and live your life the way you want to is not selfish, the selfish part would be wasting your time not being happy or living the way you want to because tomorrow is not promised to us. Remember you are only as happy as you allow yourself to be, so you are the remote that controls your happiness. Make you happy and be happy today, tomorrow, and forever!
