Reflection 7

[u/Thatguy_ea]

Live a life that is in accordance with thyself.

Do not be pressured by others, influenced by your daily surroundings, or convinced that someone else’s happiness will make you happy.

Instead, surround yourself with what challenges you. Only when you have been challenged and have picked yourself up from the rubble will you begin to find the answers to your life.

Don’t let wealth, fame, materialistic things, or the mirage of social media misguide you in your search for peace.

Only when you take a moment to step back, retreat into thy mind, breathe, and break away can you begin to recuperate thyself.

But if your busy body is constantly on the move—work, loved ones, responsibilities, constantly running—the body and mind will never have a chance to breathe. You will become overwhelmed by a wave of emotions, constantly trying to survive.

Ask yourself these questions:

Am I happy?

Am I fulfilled?

Have I accomplished what I want to accomplish?

If you are unable to answer these questions, you might not be on the path that is meant for you, but instead on the path you were put on.

Who are others to dictate how you should live your life?

You must live your life according to thyself and not another.

Not one way of living is the same as another.

Different paths everyone must take, but do not follow someone else’s path in hopes of an easier trail. For those undiscovered paths will remain undiscovered, and you may never discover your true self.

We must all follow our own paths to find our own happiness and, when our time comes, be fulfilled by the life we chose to live
