If you only want to please everybody you’re fake and living like an actor, nobody will respect you because people will see you are acting and they only use you and you will end up alone. ~ René Bouwman 

It is not what you think. It is your life, nobody can live it for you, you must do it alone. You are here for some purpose, find it, live it but first find what makes you happy and be happy, because if you are not happy, how do you want to make others happy. You cannot give what you don’t have. ~ Laura Benedict 

People should be themselves and follow their dreams and goals, rather than be something you’re not simply because other people tell you to be and if you did, aren’t they selfish for thinking that you should be what they want? You only have one life to live, and it doesn’t mean that you’d be unkind or unhelpful to others, just means that you are living your life to the fullest and happiest as you can. ~ Maree Hassall
