Are You Hiding What You Really Want from Life?
Find the life you were meant to live
What do you want from your life?
What do you want from the experience of being you?
These are the hardest questions you will ever ask yourself because few people are willing to admit, even to themselves, what they truly want from their own life.
Most of us live lives dictated by the others around us. Our parents might choose the course of our life when we are young. Your father might have been an accountant and you never had a choice in life to be anything but an accountant. You were never asked what you wanted or dreamed of becoming; you following your dad was assumed from your first day of school.
A spouse can often drive us toward what he or she thinks is best for us rather than letting us being able to chase our own dreams, then we end up wasting our years living out their dreams of what we should be, slowly losing what we wanted to be.
How many people spend their entire existence living trapped in someone else’s mad visions of what they should be doing with their lives, rather than admitting to themselves and the ones around them what they truly want then chasing their own dreams?
