Matthew 11:16 "But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,"
11:17 "And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented."
One vital thing to know about life is, You cannot please everybody. It's such a 'painful' truth. From the inception of creation, its never been recorded of a man who pleased all men, and most likely would not be recorded of any anytime soon. The scripture above further illustrates this as Jesus talks about the generation He termed as being "unsatisfied", in reading the next verse after verse 17, you'd find Jesus saying John the Baptist fasted, the people complained, He(Jesus) came eating and drinking, the people complained, so he made a figurative by saying " we have piped unto you, ye have not danced, we have mourned unto you, ye have not lamented". People generally always have something to say. Your actions or inactions would always be met with opinions. I love what life-coach David Ologbonori says about opinions, He says "...they are everywhere and they can be wrong". One thing you should always look out for is to do things that please God and please you. Never do any thing with the aim of pleasing men. You can never please all men. You can never be in the good books of all men. Once your actions are an impact to God and humanity, you are doing well. Do not seek the good books of men, seek the good books of God. Whatever idea you have to start but you've delayed because of what people would say, you should ignore such concerns and get launching that idea. A poor man is discussed. A rich man is discussed. Make that move today. Do have a great one ahead.😀
