Lately I have been feeling like no matter how hard I try, it isn't good enough for some of the people in my life... two in particular and one especially.
I really let it get to me when I hear nasty things that have been fabricated about me. I grew up in a family where we called each other out on our bullshit and sitting idly by while people blatantly make things up to manipulate other people. Have some accountability people!
It makes me doubt my self worth and question who and what I am. It causes me to question whether or not I am worthy of these people's approval or respect. Ultimately, it makes me so disappointed in the actions of this person and I spend so much of my precious time dwelling on the whole mess far more than I should be and than is healthy for me.
I need to stop. Like Seth says, "Instead of working so hard to prove the skeptics wrong, it makes a lot more sense to delight the true believers." I need to surround myself with the people who fill my life with love and happiness. I need to stop bending over backward for the people who couldn't care less and focus my energy on the people who appreciate the things I do.
