“I don’t know the key to success but the key to failure is trying to please everyone” – Bill Cosby. I saw this quote on pinterest numerous times. Because I saw it so often, I overlooked it. It didn’t really hold much significance to me. But one day when I was on pinterest and the quote popped up again, I read it. I actually read it and contemplated it, and after it held a completely different importance to me. I realized that I can’t spend my life trying to meet everyone expectations. Ultimately, my happiness will be my success, so how can I do that when I’m worried about pleasing everyone? I need to focus on myself and what I want. Worrying won’t get me anywhere; it will only add stress and unhappiness. I don’t want my live my life being miserable, so I’m going to do what I want that is within reason.
