HJFinAZ: Formula for failure; trying to please everyone.
--Anonymous

It has done us no good to set standards we could not reach. On many occasions, we adopted goals that couldn't be reached from the beginning. We allowed our identities to become tied in with pleasing people. If we suffered rejection, we collapsed into a quivering heap. Each time we wrapped ourselves up in a package for someone to pass judgment on, we set ourselves up for failure.





drinking learned that along time ago.........now I try not to carewink

StressFree: That is the worst kind of jail to live in, a jail in your mind suffocating you if you live other people's lives and adhere to their standards and demands. You lose yourself in that process. I learned that in sports...

I really don't care what other people think and I don't change my ways to fit in with anybody...and I am happier ever since I have been doing that.



Exactly...it was people's expectations of me that used to suffocate me....Now as long as I meet my own...I'm good....wave wink hug teddybear
