The Time For Letting Other People Live My Life For Me Is Over

Out Of The Shell

If you are not living your authentic self then what's the point of living? It makes no sense to not live the true you. Otherwise you are just putting on a front and you may be doing that to please other people at the same time. I have made up in my mind to live my own life. What I mean is that I have chosen to make my own choices and not allow others to live my life for me. Let me give you some examples. Going to college was half of my choice and half my parents idea. Although I was going to marry my wife anyways at some point, getting married at the time that my wife and I did was mostly her choice. Giving up on producing music was my mother's idea and I followed suit. I think you get my point by now.

I'm 24 and for some reason I feel behind in life. This is mainly because I'm a self starter and I think "What If?". I know I am here in this particular life junction for a reason. From here on out there will be no more decisions made for my life by other people. At least as much as I can control of course. There are tons of people right now living someone else's life. This was my moment to be REAL and I made sure not to sugar coat this post. Part of being a creator is going to those vulnerable and raw places. I hope you can look at your own life and remove the coats of sugar that may be there. Much love.

What are some life choices you've made that were not your ideas?

Life :

Only you can change your life. NO one can do it for you.
Sometimes it’s very hard to move on.but once you move on,you’ll realise it was the best decision you have ever made.
Your Parents may not be perfect but they are the most precious gift god has ever given to you.
Past time :

A year changes a lot.

When I look back on my life,I see pain,mistakes and heartache.

Present time :

Now,when I look into the mirror,I see strength,Learned lessons and pride in myself.
Don’t afraid of outnumbered,eagles fly alone,pigeons flock together.
Criticisers are those people in our life who bring out our flaws, take them positively.
Whatever you do, good or bad, people will always have something negative to say.just ignore them.

That picture speaks a thousand words. That's exactly how it is. One year it's "Do this!" The next it's "Do That!". Just figure out what you want and do that. People will always give their opinions.

The older we become, the more we understand. One of such things is becoming aware of the choice. That is, any things to which we aspire should be what we really want. I will explain .... if you go to university, then you should really want this. If you go to the university because your parents make you - that's the worst case scenario. First of all because you will not have the desire to study there. You will do it mediocre. And if you go to learn at your own will - then you will strive to achieve results. You will do this with the passion and get pleasure from it. This applies to all types of activities.

You should listen to people close to you but ..... but we must do as our heart and your mind tells you. This is our life and we are responsible for it. How many people live a strange life. It is sad. But in fact this is also their choice. To live not with one's life is their choice. You can always change your life. Simply, many do not realize this and "drown" in everyday life. By the way we are the same age.
