Realize that you can’t please everyone
Remember that people-pleasing we talked about in slide one? Here’s another reason to stop trying to do so: you’ll never succeed. It’s impossible to make sure that everyone is happy at all times. Someone is almost always going to be upset, especially in these scenarios, regardless of how hard you try to bend over backward. It’s best that you learn to be okay with that. The only person’s happiness that you are completely responsible for is your own. Do what you can for others and keep it moving, but don’t drive yourself crazy.
