trickykittyGeneral musings - I'm actually quite interested if there are any counter-points that others might be able to offer up for the sake of philosophical banter. :)
Think on this:
I am not trying to impress you.
Sometimes it seems an impossible task wanting to impress someone. Don't get me wrong. It's quite possible that I might want to impress someone, I actively try to impress them, and they actually do end up impressed, but there are other times when it seems that no matter what I do I just can't impress someone.
And that's ok.
In fact, that's more than ok. Constantly striving to impress someone else means living and making choices for the wrong reasons. Instead, the best way to live is in a manner that is merely impressive on its own merits. When I am trying to impress someone else, I am trying too hard and letting my brain get in the way of just being the me that I naturally am.
There are times when I have to remind myself that I am doing something for myself, not because I am trying to impress someone else.
