Look, I like to be liked. I am sure that most folks do. I don't know of many people who strive to have people dislike them. Of course, you have those who play a character whose main purpose is to make everyone hate them - Simon Cowell, Donald Trump, etc. but, I would bet that, deep down, they really want people to like them too; that is why they marry and have friends.
With that in mind, though, I know that there are those who do not like me. It doesn't matter how hard I try to befriend them, they have made up their minds that they are not going to like me. I would venture to say that if I could afford to give them thousands of dollars, they would still dislike me for "showing off" how wealthy I am. Well, no one has to worry about that happening.
Today's word is a quote from an unknown source that says, "I don't have time to worry about who doesn't like me...I'm too busy loving the people who love me."
If we spend all of our time worrying about why people don't like us, and worrying about who these people are that don't like us, we will wear ourselves down and wear ourselves out. US worrying about why THEY don't like us is futile; we aren't hurting them in the least while we are doing major damage to ourselves.
Let's spend our time loving those who love us, and not wasting our time on those who don't and never will. I think if we do that we will find ourselves happier, more fulfilled, and even healthier.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
