In today's society we have in epidemic of people trying to please everyone. I have found that you cannot please everyone, and when you find yourself trying to keep people happy all the time, you will eventually end up not fulfilling your divine destiny. There is a funny story about a woman who kept TWO bottled water coolers in her home, not because she was extra thirsty or for health reasons, but because she COULDN'T say no to either water company when they called. It sounds silly, but many of us today just cannot say NO when we really need to say NO.
No matter how much you please people, some just will not be happy about your successes, not even well-meaning people. God looks for those whose hearts are perfect towards HIM, not people. He searches the hearts of those whose hearts are for obeying Him and not set on or controlled by what others may or may not think. There is a book I once read by renowned author and minister Joyce Meyer, called Approval Addiction and it's a must read!
Step out and be different, the original that God made YOU to be. Be a Designer's Original, not some cheap copy! Step out of the box!
God Bless,
