You will never make people happier than by being a happy person yourself.
If you try to make everyone happy, everyone will be happy but you.
When children are taught to be "good" and keep everyone happy, it teaches them that they have the impossible burden of being responsible for other people's happiness.
Be authentic and please yourself, which is perfect for running-off the people who need to go, and bringing-in the people who should be in your life.
It is exclusively other people's responsibility to please themselves.
Get this through your head — you are not responsible for other people's happiness.
Your spiritual journey is about freedom, but not just your freedom — everyone's freedom.
When you quit judging others you can be your true-self, rather than being emotionally embroiled with other people's lifestyles and beliefs.
Accepting others is really about accepting yourself, because when you accept others you are freed from your own inner-conflict.
We so easily sling judgements on others, yet we don't want judgements levied against us when we change our ideals.
