This is awesome. No excuses! And nope we cannot please everyone. One of the best things I've done for myself was to stop giving a crap about what other people think of me. I still value critique from others, but I look at it much more objectively now rather than taking it personally and allowing others judgement to seep into my own judgement of myself. Being an observer of life has helped me practice this a ton. It's like more growth with less attachment, and it allows me to enjoy every moment so much more.
Thanks for this piece! Just terrific.
