People Pleasing: A Happiness Thief

Do I still care if you like me? Does it matter if you backstab me? Will I get mad if you insult me?

We need to accept the fact that some people may like us and some may not.

For us to keep sane, we need to segregate those people who won't ever like us from people who love us no matter what.

You see, haters gonna hate regardless how you do in life. You may do good and your haters will make it seem you've done worse. You will make mistakes and your haters will make a great deal about those mistakes. No matter what you do, good or bad, for them it will always be bad. So why care? You will never ever be able to please them, so stop trying to do that  and begin to love yourself.

On the other hand, there are true friends who will take you as you are, accept your differences, understand your short-comings but will never judge you. These kind of people are hard to find, so when you find them, take care of them because they are a keeper.

A mind-set like this will set you free from anxieties, stress and anger. A mind-set like this will give you happiness because you have the power of choice. You choose which ones to let go and which ones to keep in your life.

So go through the people in your life. Assess who should go and who should stay. Because me? I am doing that right now. I  couldn't care less if I only have a few number of friends left who are less than the fingers in  my two hands. What matters most is that I kept the most treasured ones.  The ones who will never think of judging me.

So, do I still care if you hate me? Hell NO! Manigas ka diyan kasi ang saya-saya ko :))) Tomorrow is the weekends already.  Happy Friday!
