I'm not one for pity parties.
Some may call me mean,
some may call me cruel, and I even get the "you're an asshole" comments from
time to time. All of that pales in comparison when it comes to my personal
happiness and those of the people I truly care about. A lot of people assume
that you owe them something in this world, and that's all cool, for their lives.
I notice a lot of people do a lot of complaining about things that don't concern
them in the slightest sense. I kind of get agitated when they complain about
someone's personal life and the things they do, like I don't really get why they
would care about what someone else is doing with their life. But then I sat back
and I started to think on why I was getting agitated by those people and I came
to the conclusion that I was being JUST like them in that sense of caring what
other people did with their life. When I realized I did that, I cut all of the
nonsense out and I focused on what I need to do, should be doing and want to do
with my life.
When that
happened, the tides turned quickly.
People, for some
reason or another, seem to lash out when you finally don't care anymore about
what they do with their lives. I use to care when they did that, I use to go
back and give them second chances and watch them ruin it worse than the first
time when they messed up. That was the old me, the new me is a more focused and
determined person in life. I have all of these new goals and aspirations that I
want to get done in a timely manner, in short, I'm motivated as hell to be a
better person. With that comes the realization that not everyone is going to see
what you want to do, and that not everyone was meant to see that. Now I don't
undermine people's importance in my life, not for one second, because I cherish
the lessons that they provide for me.
But it's 2015
and I've learned all that I could learn from those people.
To say that you spend
your life learning is a valid statement, but what I will not do is continue to
tolerate those who don't share my views and those who don't want to make any
kind of advancements in life as I do. That's the nature of the beast with me
now, I've come to the conclusion that I want to do things that people won't
understand, such as travel, more physically challenging things, just live life a
little more than what I'm doing now. It amazes me how many people just want to
stay the same and how they're not willing improve on just the overall value of
their life and how they operate things. But like I said, that's their life and
how they want it to be, and that's quite alright.
My big piece of advice
here is to just live life the way you want to live it regardless of what anyone
else has to say about it. If you want to be adventurous, be adventurous, if you
don't, then don't. It's your life and your goals, don't let anyone else try to
convince you otherwise, especially if they don't understand your reasoning or
logic behind it. Hell I can even go as far as saying at least respecting the
decision you made to do something with your life. But the more you worry about
someone else's opinion, the more you lose the happiness you want to achieve with
life, just do whatever it is that makes you happy, as long as it's not harmful
to others or yourself. Don't be afraid to step away from those people,
situations, anything that makes it hard for you to be you, and step towards your
goals and dreams.
Just live your life to the
fullest & be happy while doing it.
What do you think about people trying to control
and manipulate you into doing stuff with your life that you don't
agree with or don't say anything about? Leave a comment below.
Until next time guys.
