Guest guest Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. - Bill Cosby, comedian The dangers of people pleasingNo matter how hard you try, no matter how many hours you spend pondering and planning, and regardless of how hard you try, you absolutely cannot please everyone. It is impossible. So do yourself a favor and stop now, before you drive yourself farther toward insanity. There are many drawbacks to being a people-pleaser. A big one is that you often put yourself in a position of subservience. Sometimes you even put yourself last, which helps no one. Remember that helping yourself and doing what you feel is important should be valued. Find worth in your own opinions and viewpoint, and don't let your desire to please others compel you to keep yourself in the background. Falling short of perfection only proves that you are a normal human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
