I saw this the other day and absolutely fell in love with it. The words are so true and I guess it was a good reminder of how to live your life despite what crazy notions or judgments other people have. You can never please all of the people all of the time, and no matter what, not everyone will like you, but you can do these things for yourself to create your own happiness.
There are so many times in my life I am guilty of thinking other people can create happiness for me. Then something traumatic happens, or someone I care about disappoints me and I have to reach very deep in my soul to remember the moments or activities that bring me joy. And these are moments and activities I create or engage in on my own, not necessarily with other people.
Today I am so grateful that I have learned this skill. It is not always easy, but when necessary, I can look to it and use it to cope and get through anything, on my own. I am a strong, capable woman. I know how to survive. I know how to thrive. I will use this skill to move forward and be successful both personally and professionally. Thank you, Mother Teresa for the beautiful reminder.
