Why do we hear so many profound truths but still struggle to live a good life?

The best answer, I think, is because you care too much about others, focusing more on them than on yourself.

When a person truly learns to love themselves, they become strong. They won’t cause trouble for others and can shine brightly, living in a way they like.

Just like gold that shines wherever it goes, it doesn’t need anything to prove itself.

Not causing trouble for others is basic manners. Choosing to be yourself is a personal decision. Only then can each of us live authentically and lovably.

Sometimes we care too much about others’ opinions, ending up living in their world. When you truly belong to yourself, you’ll see how beautiful the world is.

A classy lady never shows off what she has. She doesn’t boast about books read, places visited, clothes owned, or jewelry bought because she’s not insecure.

People who avoid causing trouble reveal their true manners. Not wanting to bother others also shows respect, knowing everyone’s time is precious. Not making others pay for you is basic manners.

I once saw a well-dressed man in a restaurant who constantly called the waiter for everything.

Pouring water, serving food, even changing utensils, he never lifted a finger. Seeing this, I couldn’t help but wonder, what’s the point of bothering others like this?

Is it to show off one’s nobility or just to satisfy one’s superiority complex? In reality, such people are not uncommon. Some think highly of themselves, lacking respect for others. Those who avoid troubling others receive more respect because they understand empathy.

Those who can be themselves are principled. They practice self-discipline and aren’t disturbed by external gossip.

They follow their hearts, taking one step at a time. I remember our father often saying, “No matter what, you must first take care of yourself.”

As children, we didn’t understand this, but as we grew older, we realized that those who truly take care of themselves are the ones who can control their lives.

There’s a saying: “We once yearned for external validation, only to realize in the end that the world is ours alone, with no relation to others.”

This statement is not wrong. Life is always about oneself, with no real connection to others. No one truly wants to enter your world, and there’s no genuine empathy.

So, learn to tidy up your own world, leaving space for your soul. Those who can truly be themselves are wise. They act with principles, not following the crowd, understanding how to shine.

People who avoid troubling others embody high quality. They respect everyone and themselves, showing self-discipline.

Because they can live their brilliance, not in others’ worlds, regardless of what others say, they have their own thoughts. This kind of life is perfect. By sticking to these two things, your life will shine in the end, allowing you to live as your true self.

In the end, I hope everyone remembers this: don’t bother others, be yourself. This kind of life is more meaningful. Learn to challenge yourself, shape a unique you, let your life shine bright. This is the life each of us should strive for.
