One among friend of mine; used to tell me that “if it is not for my father, I would not be living with this guy as my husband anymore”

And I ask her why are you saying that?

She said, “I do wish to not live with this guy but I can’t. My father will hate and beat me

Surprisingly, I said, “No way! So you are not living your life but you are living your father’s life?”

She said, “I got no way. I can’t do anything

I asked, “even though you aren’t happy

And she said, “Yes”

And I replied, “Okay.”

I feel sorry for my friend but pity is not enough for anyone. As she is the one who created that situation which termed to become her own reality.

She chose that kind of life. Not his farther as the way she defines it or anyone else. She does not understand the power within her; that her life is in her hand.

Pricely, many of us are living that way — we are not living what we always wish to live, what we always see in our own imagination and opt more options rather than choices.

Back to you — who always has a chance to read this. Go here and there. I know you have the ability to clarify things and see things in a different way. I am here to ask you this,

Are you living your life or are you living someone else’s life?

Living your life means living the life that you desire to live in this world.

Living your big dreams or your big goals. It means to be free with yourself and be free with others too.

It means to live your real life but not your father’s life, your mother’s life or your uncle’s life.

Living your life means living what’s inside you, in your imagination. Sharing what you always wanted to share, say or do.

It means to live without fear, just like the way you imagine in your imagination — you have no limit.

You see yourself in a limitless world where you act in a way that you see it and feel it. You see things in a different way but also you are free to share your beliefs with others.

Living your life means to be true to yourself. Remember, you are here in this planet earth to be true with yourself first before you learn to be true into others — to love yourself first before you learn to love others and to treat yourself better before you learn to do it for others or anyone else.

It is to be perfect in your imperfection and accept who you really are.

Living your life means to live your life without any competition simply because you understand that you are the creator and you can create anything though your thoughts, words, and action.

It also means that you don’t compete with anyone but deep inside yourself, you understand that you are in competition with yourself; you are not trying to be better more than anyone but you are trying to be better with yourself — to be better more than the previous day.

Living your life means living your quest, living your purpose. Living the life that you were put in this world to live. The life of serving others because you are here to serve me, I am here to serve you and we are here to serve each other.

Living your life means to live without excuses neither pleasing others. To be who you really are by becoming the person you want to become.

It means to monitor yourself and follow your inner intuition without waiting for anyone’s approval or permission.

It is to understand that “Other peoples’ perception of you is none of your business” — Lisa Nichols

Stay true to yourself. It is the only gift you can give to yourself.
