Satisfaction in life

In our daily scheme of things we tend to keep rushing in on a lot of things and seldom do we sit back and watch what we have done or doing.
We have multiple roles to play in life. From being an employee of a company to being a son, Parent, friend and the list goes on. As part of these roles, we keep performing various activities. How often, would we look back or pause to see if we are really performing these tasks well or if we are satisfying/ doing justice to these roles that we play.
Even when we have given our best in whatever we have done and we feel that we have done best or probably more than what we thought could have been done, people would still have something or the other to point out at what you do.
It is very important for one individual to satisfy himself on whatever he does satisfies him. Because, one cannot satisfy every other person that is present around him. Even in one of the smallest things in life there can be disagreement in what you do from many present around you. What is important in life is what you do and whether is satisfies you or not. Only our conscience knows whether what we have done is good/bad or best/better.
I feel like sharing one experience in this regard. I was extremely busy with a lot of things over the past couple of weeks, however i made sure that i give in my best in whatever i did, like i usually do and completed all the tasks to my satisfaction (very satisfied). Still, people took a couple of chances (though there wasn't one!) in pointing out few so called faults at me. This really demotivated me to a great extent and i really started thinking on it. Then, i realised that i cannot satisfy everybody present around me with what i do. There will be people who like what i do and at the same time some who do not like it at all. I don't want to live my life for the second category of people, because no matter what you do, they will never be satisfied with you. After all, we all live for ourselves and not for somebody else (exceptions in case of family)
Having said that i don't mean to say that i am the most perfect man on earth and i do not make mistakes at all. Even i am a human being and it is human to make mistakes. But, when people start pointing out at whatever you do then it is time to put your foot down and start thinking about yourself and not what others say about it and satisfying yourself that the whole world in front of you.
Only when we think about ourselves on aspects of life like these will we be doing justice to ourselves, hence we are loosing out on most important thing in life. YOU!
