We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves.

As you care less about what people think of you, you will care more about what others think of themselves.

Do not become too concerned about what others may think of you. Be very concerned about what you think of yourself.

You can’t make someone feel good about themselves until you feel good about
yourself.

Don’t spend your time making other people happy. Other people being happy is their problem. It’s not your problem. If you are happy, it makes other people happy.

Everyone matters more than you except to yourself.

How you make others feel about themselves says a lot about you.

If we think only of ourselves, forget about other people, then our minds occupy very small area. Inside that small area, even tiny problem appears very big. But the moment you develop a sense of concern for others, you realize that, just like ourselves, they also want happiness; they also want satisfaction. When you have this sense of concern, your mind automatically widens. At this point, your own problems, even big problems, will not be so significant. The result? Big increase in peace of mind. So, if you think only of yourself, only your own happiness, the result is actually less happiness. You get more anxiety, more fear.

We take greater pains to persuade others that we are happy than in endeavoring to think so ourselves

If we worry too much about ourselves, we won't have time for others

"You know, it's funny. We tend to always assume other people are thinking about us as much as we're thinking about ourselves. But the truth is, that everyone else is too busy worrying about what other people are thinking about them, to bother noticing us in the first place".

It is not the smallest use to try to make people good, unless you try at the same time — and they feel that you are trying — to make them happy. And you rarely can make another happy, unless you are happy yourself.

Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their wants and problems than they are in you and your problems.

When people feel good about themselves, then they feel good about others. When people feel good about each other, they can work together as a team, and when people work as a team, they are able to accomplish exceedingly more than anyone could hope to expect.
