You are not for everyone

You are not for everyone. Nor should you be.

The common adage goes:

“When you try to please everyone, you please none.”

While this may be true, I prefer this own twist on this well-worn phrase:

“When you try to please everyone, you’ll never please yourself.”

Pleasing others is great, but unless you’re content with yourself, nothing else matters.

So…

Ruffle some feathers.
Cut against the grain.
Question assumptions.
Reject norms.
Besmirch the status quo.
Laugh at inanity.
Challenge authority.
Annoy the hell out of people from time to time.

This is how you’ll know that you’re living well, being yourself, and acting with integrity.
