Never good enough

Sigh... Ever feel like no matter how hard you try it's never enough...for somebody. It is not always the same person, but its the never ending circle of not knowing what to do... When do we accept we can not please everyone, we can only please ourselves and when we are happy that everything else will fall into place. Why is that so hard. I feel like I am always walking on needles and every once in awhile i miss a few only to be pushed right back onto the needle ridden path. When are we able to walk the path without being pricked...sigh does that path exist or do some of us simply have more calloused feet then the rest of us- oh how do we get there?
