"I spent my life trying to please others. But where are they now? All those people I lived to please are no longer around. On your deathbed, the only person you'll have to answer to is the person you look at in the mirror every morning. You'd better be true to him." -- excerpted from Discover Your Destiny  by Robin Sharma

When people are not true to themselves, over time, this creates untold amounts of depression, anxiety and stress. Many people do not like themselves or their life because of this exactly: they are going against their own grain because someone else wants them to. "Someone else" can be anyone: parents, spouse, children, friends or society in general. The more you show the people around you that you are willing to bend to their will and not be true to yourself, the more they will continue asking you to do so. I could go on and on, but I think the above quote says it all.
