Your own? Are you sure? Are you not perhaps living my life, our lives and their lives? Most probably… Are you leading the bronze life of your parents? Or the silver life of your friends? Perhaps the golden life of your hero? And for what? Acceptance Is that why you play the part that they’ve decided for your life? Not that their intentions are wrong Or the opposite thereof It’s just that you hear their voice in your own mind You live their lives, not your own Your own abilities are based on their approval Your own voice has been crumbled by their ways You become what they aspired to become Your dreams are based on their philosophies Their fears becomes your own Your accomplishments, theirs And to comprehend that, is beyond human knowledge Are you going to base your life on the approval of others and until when? When are you going to start living your own life? When are you going to refuse without rebellion? Start now… Have faith in your own path Start living your own life Dream your own dreams Learn from your own mistakes Make your own choices And live in contentment with the consequences. « return. |
