There is a tremendous pressure from other people around us, which makes us do what we do. From parents, friends in school, colleagues, managers we work for etc.
Most of the time I think: "Life is to short to spend all my time trying to make everyone happy". Apart from that, it is impossible to please everyone all the time. It is impossible for anyone else, beside of you, to know what it the best for you. No matter how much you share with your parents, your friends, your colleagues, they are not connected to your deepest desires, your intuition, your hopes and your dreams.
You have to make choices that take mind, body and soul into consideration. Your mind, your body and your soul, because you are the only person who knows what is the best for you, isn't it?
