Change

That which you don't have control over
Is not for you to change
'Cos in that effort, you lose things that
You do have control over

I've talked about change before, but I've never expressed my liking for it. I do like change and sometimes I even force it by doing small things like moving around the furniture in my room. Change can be unfavorable sometimes, and looking back at it is always easier than going through it. Many things that happen to you are not under your control, which is why you need to learn to sit in the back seat sometimes and enjoy the ride. Stick your head out of the window, feel the cold air that rushes past you, close your eyes, breathe deeply and you will soon start to realize that you are headed towards something better.

Time Is Running Out

Following society's standards, does that make you too boring as an individual? Pushing the limits, rebellion, does that make you different, unique? How much do you fight for what you want, what weight do you give to your happiness over someone elses?

Every now and then I feel like I did everything too right. That does not mean that I am living in regret. I wouldn't change the past; it made me who I am today and I love who I am today. I feel so in control of myself, I feel powerful, I feel confident and I feel incredibly grateful for who I am. Through the test of time, I have learned to stand up for myself instead of trying to live my life to please others. 

The world doesn't run with your rules. It has its own rules and YOU have to follow them, not the other way around. You must be thinking.. no way! I pave my own path to the future. If you are the only one paving this path, how do you know its straight? Are you looking to the person on your right and paving your path parallel to his/hers?

You can't pave a straight path to the future, and you can't make it shorter or longer. But what you can do is to build some mountains every now and then so that you can see the world around you from a higher perspective. But remember, every hill you climb requires more effort than the people around you who are following a straight path. And also remember that once you are on top of the hill, falling down is almost inevitable. So enjoy the ride, it will be over before you know it.

Success

Success. A word full of awe. Everyone wants a piece of it.

 

Success is relative. Relative in the sense that its definition keeps getting bigger as we achieve it, and also relative in the sense that it means different things to people.

 

What if our brains were pre-wired to a certain definition of success. What if the purpose of our existence was merely to achieve a certain goal that we were set out to do since birth. What if we knew that we would live as long as we do not achieve that goal. Would people work towards it more diligently?

 

No one really has the answer to what a successful life is. Maybe it is because no one has the authority to judge what success means to other people. There is one thing that defines the rewarding feeling of success and it is the same for all of us; the more struggles we go through before achieving our goal, the more deserving we feel of the reward once that goal is achieved.
