“I am not in this world to live up to other people’s expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine.”
Those of you who have known me for a while and have had the misfortune of having to endure my advice, may have heard me say this from time to time. Well, not as eloquently as Fritzy put it, but kind of the same.
“You are responsible for your own happiness. Don’t count on much from anyone else, and you won’t be disappointed..”

True words of wisdom and very much representative of you. :0)
Be true to yourself and good things will follow.
Live your life to please others and you lose yourself.

Jody, nothing related to work prompted this. I have really given similar advice in the past (and not too distant past) to people I care about. When I came across the quote, it rang a bell.
