Do You Really Need Everyone?

Hi there. It's another wonderful time to share with you lessons from my daily lessons. In my previous post, I talked about "Obedience or Sacrifice." I hope you have read the write-up. I am very sure it blessed a lot of people. If you have not read it, go read it. It will surely bless you.

For those that have read it, remember that I talked about how obedience pays. And I remember I shared a story of a king that was rejected as a result of his disobedience. He would have been a very great king if he had not disobeyed the command of his God. I encourage everyone to pay attention to instructions because no matter how much you sacrifice, without obedience it may not be acceptable.

Alright! After summarizing my previous post, let me tell you what I'm going to share with you today. It is another wonderful lesson that I won't want you to miss, but the only way to miss this lesson is not to read it to the last line and open your heart to receive it. That being said, let's dive in.

Do You Really Need Everybody?

---

My task for today is very simple. Although it's simple, it takes a heart that's ready to learn and make major adjustments to really get more from this write-up. I'm not going to make it lengthy, so don't worry about your time.

I want to show you just one thing that will help you live a happy life. Since I have discovered it, I rarely worry about some things that aren't worth worrying about. I am someone who believes in connecting with people. I so much like networking with people, knowing them and having access to opportunities.

I'm on steemit because of my friend who introduced it to me. I believe in asking for opportunities and what can change my life, spiritually, academically, and financially. I have shared with you how I joined Steemit. I actually saw a post on my friend's WhatsApp status about steemit and I commented on it, and that was how he shared this great platform with me. Since then, I have really learned a lot here on Steemit.

Whenever I meet people, I actually want to get to know them, have their contact and connect with them, especially if they are like-minded. I don't just connect with people who can add value to me, sometimes I connect with people I can add value to. I believe that's how it's supposed to be. I also want to be someone who can lift people up and have an impact on their lives. Even when I see people whom I know that they have the capacity to add value to me, I still look for a way to see how I can add value to them, too.

Now I have discovered that no matter how much I try to connect with some people, they may not want me. Sometimes I wondered if I was not human. There is this person. I spent a lot of time connecting with him. I wanted him to know that I could add value to him and that he could add value to me too. I wanted to be part of his life. But the more I tried to connect with him, the more he moved away from me. I can give you more examples.

I am a people person, but whenever I realized people didn't want me, I felt disturbed and began to wonder if I was not human. Sometimes I would feel the whole world had rejected me if just one person refused to accept my connection. And sometimes things like that may make you think, and if you aren't strong emotionally, it can lead to depression.

It wasn't long before I discovered that I didn't really need all the people. I don't have to have everybody on my side, and everybody doesn't have to have me either. The secret to happiness is not only to know whom you want, but to also know who wants you.

I have heard people say they have not started living their dream because they thought someone whom they thought would help them has not helped them or hasn't accepted them into their connection. The truth is, you don't need everybody. Not everyone will let you in. So, never bother to disturb yourselves when their attitude is "I don't need you." You can live your dream life without them. You can fulfill your purpose without those that don't need you. Remember, no one is all-important.

You have just a single life to live, and you need to live it happily. So, if someone doesn't need you in their life, don't be downcast; move on with your life and keep growing. You don't have to have everybody. Don't force anybody into any relationship that you won't be able to manage. Success is not determined by the number of people we have in our lives; it's determined by how much we are able to impact those whom we can reach. If you are able to reach just two people and have an impact on their lives, you have succeeded.

Let me balance this. I'm not saying you should not connect with people or don't have as many people as you can have in your life. What I'm saying is, if you notice someone doesn't want you, don't force him. You don't need everyone, and everyone doesn't need you. Recognize people who want and need you, and those whom you need too. That's one way to live a happy life. Even if you have the capacity and grace to love everyone, not everyone will love you. If you understand this, you will live in peace.
