Reasons Why You Should No Longer Care About People

I was reading an article in the internet few days ago and thought to share it with the rest

A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep. ~ Vernon Howard

Care about peoples approval and you will be their prisoner. ~ Lao Tzu

1. You simply cant be liked by everybody.

"Life has taught me that you can't control someone's loyalty. No matter how good you are to them, doesn't mean they'll treat you the same. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn't mean they'll value you the same. Sometimes the people you love the most, turn out to be the people that you can trust the least."

You have enemies? Good. That means youve stood up for something, sometime in your life. ~ Winston Churchill

2. You can live a happy life without their approval.

Self-worth comes from one thing – thinking that you are worthy. Wayne Dyre

Anger, resentment and jealousy doesn't change the heart of others-- it only changes yours.

3. You cant control what other people think of you.

You cant control what others think. The only thing you can control is yourself. Some people will look down on you for your choices in life, no matter what they are. You cant do anything about that. The only thing you can do is decide how to live your own life. And to hell with everybody else Marie Sexton

4. Approval seeking behavior is time-consuming.

Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn't have the time to sit around and talk about you. What's important to me is not others' opinions of me, but what's important to me is my opinion of myself. C. JoyBell C.

6. Freedom to be who you want to be.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. Oscar Wilde

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. Bernard M. Baruch

7. Inner peace.

When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others. ~ Peace Pilgrim

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection. Buddha

8. You are the one in control of your life, not them.

When You Write the Story of Your Life, Dont Let Anyone Else Hold the Pen Unknown

Don't pretend to be what you're not, instead, pretend to what you want to be, it is not pretence, it is a journey to self realization. Michael Bassey Johnson

9. The only person you need to impress is yourself.

When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself as someone who needs to judge. ~ Wayne Dyer
