And we all start off living to please other people and gain their acceptance until one day we stop and realize that it's time to start doing things for ourselves. Those people are often called selfish. But we only get one chance in this life so why not do the things that makes us happy?
To find a balance inbetween the two is nearly impossible but is the ultimate goal in this world.
And then somewhere down the line before we bite the dust we start doing things for other people because we lived our lives for ourselves and it was time to make someone else happy as a last deed of kindness on the earth.
So do yourself a favor and try living for yourself for a little while and see where it takes you.
