Has there ever been a time in your life, that you felt like you just HAD to live your life the way others wanted? I’m sure all of us can relate to that.

As you age, you mature, and during those years you also gain knowledge about life from those around you or from personal experiences. Only you can live your life how you want it, many may feel pressured to live their lives how others want them to, and are afraid of what may happen if they go against those orders. But, we fail to realize that we wouldn’t be happy with our lives if we don’t live them the way we want to. We’ll only be existing but not actually living.

Those who want you to live life a certain way will be upset if you start to live it how you want to, and eventually they will get over that feeling. Despite how they may act towards you, they will always love you, and only want what is best for you. You’ll be success in some shape or form, maybe not in there way, but in your way you will be successful, and be happy with how life is going for you.

Keep that feeling of happiness close to you. Never compare someone else’s success to yours, everyone is successful in their own way. Don’t rush things. Take your time. One step at a time. You got this, one day you will be looking back to these days as an easy patch in your life, and be thankful for everything you went through, because in the end it gave you nothing but blessings.
