Chapter 1: The Unattainable Goal of Universal Happiness

It’s a fundamental reality that attempting to make everyone happy is futile. No matter how hard you strive, there will always be someone who disagrees with you or questions your choices. This is perfectly acceptable.

When the desire to please everyone takes precedence, it often leads to compromising your own values and beliefs. The pursuit of universal approval can be both mentally and physically exhausting, and frankly, it is an unattainable goal.

Prioritizing your own honesty and integrity is far more rewarding than chasing the approval of every individual you encounter. When you stand firm in your beliefs and act based on what is morally right, you tend to attract those who appreciate you for who you truly are.

While it’s essential to be open to others' opinions and to validate their feelings, this should never come at the expense of your own well-being or principles. It is crucial to accept that some people may simply not resonate with you or your viewpoints, and that’s perfectly okay.

Being authentic and true to yourself should be your primary focus. Ultimately, those who are meant to recognize your worth will appreciate the fact that you acted in alignment with your values, even if your choices weren’t what they preferred.

Therefore, it’s time to stop fixating on meeting everyone else's expectations and instead strive to be the best version of yourself.
