Right from our child hood toil the last breath of our life, we tend to live for others, expect love and care from others. Day in and day out we just live every moment expecting others to shower their love and understand our feelings towards them…

But, just wait a moment… living for others and the rest of the World, and expecting the same from them is not at all a negative side. But forgetting it is our life and we are just ignoring the same in the process of living for the World and adjusting according to others, we are just letting go what are we… before you reach to a saturation point here are some reasons that make you think why should you live for yourself;

There is definitely a way out, and it may not seem easy at first. Stop and think again when you face any of the above-mentioned situations. Ask yourself: “How much does this matter to me? Is it more important for me to save for my kids’ education or should I spend on the plasma TV only to keep up with others?” If you really want to keep with others, you can try giving your kids a chance to be better than those of Sanders by offering your kids better education. Decide what is really worth your hard-earned money.

If someone (not your near and dear one) hurts you, ask yourself: “how much does this person matter to me?” You have so many things to occupy your mind with and projects to undertake for yourself, family and friends that you cannot keep thinking about the situation in the back of your mind. Deal with it, immediately. Either forgive or forget. You have things to do and you want to move on.

If you want to attend something fun such as a pottery or Latin dance class, stop worrying about what others will think. Instead ask how you would feel about yourself once you get done with it? Will you feel good? Will you be impressed by yourself?

People will think about your actions only for a moment because they too have a life of their own. But if all they do is talk about you amongst them to judge you, then they are not worth your concern. Either way, there is no reason to live for “people”. Live for your family, for your real friends, and most importantly, for yourself.

Even though you adjust to the core for all those loved ones of yours, at times you may not be living up to their expectations. In fact, satisfying all the others at all the time is not at all possible at least for human beings like you and me. Then at least satisfy yourself with your way of living by definitely not hurting others.

And never compromise on certain aspect that you are very passionate or possessive about. Be it your career, the person with whom you want to spend your life, profession, your interest or whatever. Compromise and adjustment may seem to be great now, but later you might reach to a point where you regret for your act. So, just think twice before taking a decision and think never before living the way you want for yourself not at the cost of the peace of people around you…
