Why You Should Stop Trying To Impress People

Hello everyone, it's Friday..."Freedom Friday"!!

It's time to FREE yourself from the shackles and burden of IMPRESSING people. OH dear! What a weight on a shoulder already carrying soooo much!

Always do a good deed from the heart and not to impress people who are on earth for a tiny part of eternity (their eternal life). When they pass-on, their knowledge - dreams & aspirations - memory, treasures, accumulated wealth....PUFF....all ends with them...gone with the wind. They cannot access it ANY more. Sometimes, it's all gone even before they pass...to the point they can't even remember who you are any more.

You know, realising how short our life here is before we move on to....a life with no end (eternal) sure gets the wheels in your brain turning. It definitely forces you to start putting things into perspective. You start to ask the very important questions like....NOT what legacy do I want to leave behind BUT what real meaning did my life give to someone or many. 

Did I...

- effect a positive or even powerful change in someone's life

- bring real deep down the soul joy and happiness to someone's life...like constantly bring warm soup or hot tea, burger meal or home cooked food, a blanket, thick jumper, woolly hat or glove clean water to drink, a smile and a hello to that homeless person around the corner. Take him to a clean warm safe place to sleep each night..find her job, home

- make HUGE difference in even one person's life without showcasing it.

ACTION

If you must impress someone...impress

1: yourself (say: wao! I can believe I did that, I'm so proud of me. Pat on the back). This will help build your confidence, fill you with excitement, give you a sense of purpose, real joy and happiness deep inside (I can tell you for free, this feeling can be addictive. You crave more of it which brings me to the next..), makes you want to do more for others hence feeding a cycle

Or

2: better still, why not impress the only ONE who sees all and can remember your every (little or large, in secret & private or public) good deed in this life and most importantly.....your life after.
