One of the many things I've learned in life is to always follow your gut. There are people who may have an idea about what you should or shouldn't be doing but at the end of the day you should be the only one that decides what's best for you. Over the years, I've met people who have tried to influence me to go down the path that they think I should. Whether it be because of my personality, my work ethic, my ideals or beliefs their opinions always seemed to trump what mine were for myself. We've all met people in life who without even realizing it attempt to influence us. Good or bad, there they are making suggestions based on things that simply don't hold weight or value in our idea of the world. The key is to not be influenced by them. The ultimate goal is to go with what you know to be right. Go with where your heart is telling you is the best fit. The goal should always be to put your opinion about how you feel about your likes and desires above what others think they are. Making any sense? I guess my intention with today's blog entry is to remind not only those who are reading this but myself too, about what it truly takes to be a successful individual. When I say success I'm not speaking from a monetary standpoint. Rather I mean success in terms of fulfilling a goal of happiness and peace. Money can't buy you that. So, on this nineteenth day of no complaints I'm grateful for being at a place in my life where I can recognize what is important to me. I'm grateful for being in a place in my life where I've learned to place value on the souls of people, rather than of soles of shoes. What do I have to complain about when my soul is filled with love???? |
