the art of living

When you look in the mirror, what do you see?

I see choices… Good choices, Bad choices, Me.

And I wonder, could I have done things differently? Am I where I want to be? Why is it that there are days I just feel I am where I am supposed to be and days I feel like a failure?

Do you ever feel this way? Like somebody else has decided for you? As if choices you have made where directed by the circumstances and they were the only choice you had at the time? Do you ever wonder how your life would be like if…?

But I guess that’s in the past. It’s a scenario that never played and we’ll never find out the ending to that story. So what do we need to do to change that? What do we need to do to look in the mirror and just smile? And just know that good or bad it was up to us 100%.

Maybe the only way is to figure out what it is that we really want… Not what would be nice for others or the society. Not what is right because it has always been the way growing up. Maybe we need to change the way, break the circle. It’s not easy, it will never be!

Especially as you might need to change part of who you have become in time. The person they mould you to be. And become who you were supposed to be from the beginning. Find the kid that used to create only happy worlds and happy endings. The kid that got lost in the way of becoming an adult full of responsibilities, limitations, fear and guilt.

Our lifes are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.  Anne Frank

Once someone told me: Stop being good! Be naughty! I never did. I am still good but I have come to realise everyone’s happiness is not my job, its theirs! I need to make me happy! But I am so lost it will take a lot of work to find the real me again… But I will try… I will start from tomorrow… And you should too… For it is always the Right Time to choose You!
