Living Your Best Life

Have you ever tried to live your life trying to meet the expectations of those around you? Made a decision based off of what someone else said worked for them or made a decision to better fit someone else’s happiness besides your very own? If you can at least answer yes to any of these posing questions, chances are, you are not living the best life to fit your happiness. The longer we go on doing things to make others happy, the more we subtract from ourselves and our happiness. I believe the best remedy to aid living your best life, is simply asking yourself, if these same people you're living your life through, will stop and do the same for you, by stopping their happiness and living their life through your expectations. Chances are when the opportunity presents itself, I’m sure they wouldn’t. Don’t get me wrong, it’s some cases where people will consider those around them and how they could be affected if they chose to make a certain life decision. Considering how those can be affected is fine, however, if we considered everyone’s feelings, it could potentially change our aspect from wanting to do something to not wanting to do it. How to avoid this; is by having a mind of your own. Don’t allow someone’s opinion to alter your own. Why try to fit in with the opinion of others, when we all were created as unique individuals to all standout? I believe where we all fall short daily, is making the mistake to believe that how a person did something, is how we have to do things, or how things will map out for us. People share testimonials and experiences to inspire, so that people may believe that it is achievable. Live your best life and not through someone else’s camera lens.
