Why You Should Stop Impressing Others
To lead a meaningful life strong relationships are extremely important. As all we crave for human connections we tend to do many stupid things to get attention from others. The tendency to impress others is one such stupid, self defeating habits. Let’s check why you should stop impressing others.
Do you really respect someone who doesn't have a stand for anything? Nobody can respect such a person. For the same subject different people have different opinions. It’s normal. But one who has the fear of ‘what others will think’ talks and behaves in the way others like instead of expressing his own opinion. This habit also impacts how this person makes decisions for his life, from smaller to bigger decisions. Instead of respecting his own inner desires he follows the crowd.

Even two people who are from the same family background don’t have the same character. Each person has his own unique desires. The success of a person lies in realising his uniqueness. What blocks most people from respecting their uniqueness is their tendency to always follow the crowd. Instead of following their heart they choose to follow the trend. They don’t care whether they can do it nor not.
See, mastery comes from choosing what you love to do. That’s why the starting point of success is your ability to define what you are not. You should have the courage to say no to everything that doesn’t add value to your life. But how can a person with a pleasing mentality make such a decision. Only one who respects himself, respects his unique dreams and desires can take such strong decisions.

If you take a close look at the life of high achievers you will understand that they don't have a habit of taking validation from others. They have strong faith in themselves. The result is they make high achievements, they are happy with their life and also they get love and respect from others.
You don’t have to sacrifice your dreams and follow the crowd to look cool in front of others. When you value yourself and not stopping others from being themselves you will automatically get love and respect. It’s not flattery but genuine encouragement, support and compassion that people seek. You don’t lose anything by expressing those values.
People who truly love you never encourage a pleasing mentality. Because true love never controls anyone. True love never stops anyone from pursuing his dreams. You don’t really have to pretend like someone else in front of those who truly love you. People who give that freedom are the ones who truly deserve your time.
You lose nothing by being yourself. There is a beauty beyond the words in being genuine. Understand that more than anyone else, acceptance it’s your own acceptance that you need. When you do that and courageously follow your dreams you will find happiness and peace within yourself. Who doesn't want to be with a person who is happy with himself? This is the right way to earn respect and love from others.
