Have you ever heard the expression, “You can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot please all of the people all of the time”? Well, some people actually try really hard to please everyone all the time and it tends to zap them of their energy and leave them feeling depressed when they come up short.
Although, making others happy is a positive character trait it is important to make oneself happy first. When you are happy, you give off positive vibes to everyone around you. People want to be around other happy people more than they want to be around someone who is always trying to make them happy.
Happy people tend to live healthier lives as they can reduce their amount of stress. Unhappy people tend to try to make their sadness or anger disappear by alcohol, unhealthy foods or even drugs which create more problems that will make them even less likely to reach happiness.
