It's tough though to think about. One can easily say... "Oh! I'm happy with what I'm doing, what other people think won't matter." but that generates isolation and solitude. That doesn't create happiness... Yet the other extreme of only making others happy may create a scenario where you aren't content with the decision that society expects you to make. That may leave you in a guilt trap all your life. Once again, there is no sense of happiness. So which really is more important? And what should one live by?
Honestly, I don't have an answer for you. I think both aspects are very important in life. You need to know when it is important to please people, but also know that you have a duty to be content with your own actions. While trying to think of an answer, I kept thinking about this quote. "Your life is your message to the world." What you do in your life displays who you are. What people see is largely a part of the real you. So how will you define yourself? How will you show your individuality and your identity? Are you a people pleaser, or are you more along the lines of independence? Either way, you are you, and your life is your message to the world. Live with the idea that you are generating a response to the world. A positive or negative lifestyle will leave a positive or negative message. What are you going to say with your life? Your life is a message to those around you, and those yet to come.
So.. here's a song. It's fairly cheesy, and I remember singing it way back when I was in Gr.3. Haha, but it's interesting.. the lyrics... bear with the singing, it's a bunch of little kids, but listen for the lyrics. We Can Make A Difference ~ Denise Gagne.
Music is for Healing <3
Till Later!
