There was a man who saw a scorpion almost drowning in water. He decided to save it by stretching out his finger, but the scorpion stung him. The man still tried, but the scorpion stung him again. Another man nearby told him to stop saving the scorpion. But the man said, "It's the nature of the scorpion to sting, it's my nature to love. Why should I give up my nature to love just because it's the nature of the scorpion to sting?"
Dear ones, don’t ever give up caring, don't give up loving, and don’t give up your goodness even when everyone around you stings because the worst regret we can have in life is not for the wrong things we did, but for the right things we could have done but we never did.
You have to understand that you will never be able to control the way people feel or react to certain things; whatever you do, someone will CRITICIZE you. You will be BLAMED if you act and even if you don't act; if you speak, or don't speak. It’s in their NATURE so never let someone's NEGATIVE judgments of you RUIN your day or let you think LESS of yourself because they are the ones that have no idea who you really are. Let them snicker, laugh and make comments about you because they truly have no PLACE in your life anyways. Yes, they can CHANGE their behaviors and their attitudes, but their CHARACTER is who they are! Therefore, live life for you, live life like GOD would want you to, without worry, without fear, but with FAITH, DETERMINATION and PERSEVERANCE! Live to make you happy! After all, you're the only one that can live your life!
Indeed, you can't keep PLEASING everyone. If your focus is on finding shortcomings, either in yourself or in others, you cannot raise higher. Recognize that if someone gives a comment or criticizes, reflect on it. If there is some TRUTH, accept it. If not, then thank them and move on.
Don't ever let them tell you what you need to do or DICTATE to you. You are the only person who can tell what you want to do and where you want to be. Let your thinking be the tool for your success. Live the life you love and love the life you live but always remember GOD FIRST!
