You Don't Have to Make Everyone Happy

If you are trying to make everyone happy, you will end up making some of the wrong people happy! You’ll be trying to please people who are judgmental or controlling or arrogant, people who require others to do what they want them to do before they extend approval. To keep these hurtful people happy, you would have to do some things that are not good in the long run. You would have to make some bad choices to keep these people smiling.  The people who are hardest to please are often the most self-centered. They are only happy when you do what is good for them, and that usually is not good for the whole. Sometimes it’s hard to say no and resist the need to please everyone, and Dr. Henry Cloud wants to give you a chance to engage with his growing library of resources, help you connect with safe people and encourage you to participate in his discussions in the exclusive Boundaries.Me community.
