Do what makes you happy. Do you agree with this saying?

I saw this post saying, "Do what makes you happy," but I wonder: do we have the ability to do things that make us happy every time? I mean, sometimes there are things that make us happy but make others mad and sad, so can we manage to do that?

Yes, it is true. Do what makes you happy. However, if being happy can hurt others, then it is not a good thing. We must know our limitations.

Do what makes you happy but confines it to your space and boundaries. Don't try to get into another space to avoid creating pains to the other person.

You are right, when we thing about our happiness we also need to consider others right, we can't violet others right.

I definitely agree with this saying, but if my happiness means hurting other people, then I will never allow it. It will never give me peace of mind. However, I know in myself that I can never do something like this.

As long as it pleases God, and you are not doing anything bad, do what makes you happy. Cause the more you try to make others happy, they won't even appreciate it. Rather they would keep finding faults.

I agree with you, as long as our action makes God happy its good to go, and yeah when you try hard peoples think that its your duty to make them happy.

I really do agree with that. When you do exactly that you are likely to avoid alot of problems.

It's possible to do to some extent. We can choose a career which will make us happy we can't do that in life's other situation. We have to compromise with happiness.

in a way yes if you really enjoy something you have good change at being good at it as well but it also depends on what you enjoy doing

I try to follow this statement because I am the main person in my life and I am ready to do what makes me happy. Cars and driving them make me happy and luckily that doesn't bother anyone
