life-choices

We are all entitled to our own share of mistakes and learning experiences in life. No one should take them away from us. Not even our parents.

They (parents) want life to unfold according to what they believe. Most people want that. The last thing they want and need, is somebody (let alone their own child) telling them that their beliefs about life are bullshit / full of holes/ severely flawed.

It__ safer/ easier to follow the script and complain how broken some things are in that script, than to attempt to change those things.

Our parents are not the only people on this planet, and we should not base our life choices on what they want (what will bring them a peace of mind, satisfaction, and give them a reason to brag), but we should make those choices keeping in mind that there are upwards of 7,5 billion people in this world, and that we should use our talents and energy trying to improve the lives of as many of them as possible.

They (parents) have been doing this (imposing their beliefs about life on you) since you were born. That__ more than enough to establish a habit.

Your life can be a great success or it can be a disaster. Be careful with the choices you make.

What I allow into my head finds its way to my heart, which is a porthole to my soul. Therefore, I might be wise to consider the state of my soul, and then walk this process backwards.

The alternatives in my life went through my mind. Unemployed, alone, despairing, watching daytime TV. That couldn't end well.Or helping people, like genuinely making a difference. Imagine waking up and doing that every day?

Never did the world make a queen of a girl who hides in houses and dreams without traveling.

For every choice you make, there is a consequence to face. Choose wisely!

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. But if you do, make new ones. Life is too short to make the wrong choice twice.

There are some people who may be good yet toxic for you, so be careful of who you surround yourself with.

If parents want __uccess stories_ to share at gatherings they should provide themselves with those, and they should not use their children for that purpose.

Parents like to think of themselves as Batmans, and of their children as Gotham Cities. Gotham City depends on Batman for its survival, and Batman delivers. This belief prevents parents from letting those young adults actually live their lives.

They know a lot, but they don__ know everything, and they can__ advise you on anything.They can only tell you what they believe worked / or didn__ work for them.

Leaving the rat race is easy. All you have to do is quit your job, sell your house, and go and live in a tent in the middle of nowhere. It__ staying out of the rat race that__ tricky.

Well -- think about this. What if all your actions and choices, good or bad, make no difference to God? What if the pattern is pre-set? No no -- hang on -- this is a question worth struggling with. What if our badness and mistakes are the very thing that set our fate and bring us round to good? What if, for some of us, we can't get there any other way?

You can make the best of it or you can let it get the best of you. Those are your two choices.
