[ttshare]“Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives.” ~ Paulo Coelho[/ttshare]
You will meet many a person who will share opinions regarding your life and your work, whether you ask or not. Some will agree with you, some won’t. C’est la vie! You will never, ever, please everybody.
At the end of the day, the only person you need compare yourself to is the person you were yesterday. As long as you’re working toward your own happiness, don’t let the opinions of others divert you, especially those from people who have not yet found their own paths in life.
We are all unique, what we decide to do with our time is entirely up to us; listen to your heart and answer only to yourself.
[ttshare]“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.” ~ Paulo Coelho[/ttshare]
The greatest riches we can ever hope to have are the ones that make us truly happy. Where do you find your happiness? To where does your heart call?
It may be a profession, a hobby, a place, a person, a pet or a lifestyle, but it’s only when we stop and acknowledge what it is our hearts want that we will find our greatest treasures. These are the treasures that will bring joy and happiness into our lives; this is where the heart is.
[ttshare]“People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams.” ~ Paulo Coelho[/ttshare]
For many different reasons, many people’s dreams remain just that — merely dreams — for their entire lives. Why is it that we don’t pursue them? Do we not all deserve to live out our dreams?
Do we doubt ourselves and our capabilities, or do we doubt our own senses of self-worth? We only have one life and one chance at living exactly how we want. We need to believe in ourselves and in our dreams. We need to believe that anything is possible and that we, alone, can make it happen.
If you’re going to believe anything in this lifetime, believe in you.
[ttshare]“Our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the world’s greatest lie.” ~ Paulo Coelho[/ttshare]
We are in control of our own lives. We choose which paths to take, where to go and with whom we spend our time. The sooner we become aware of this — the power we have over our own destinies —, the sooner we can start shaping the lives we want.
It is never too late to seize control of our lives, be aware of where our choices may take us and form the paths we want to take. The power to do that lies within each of us.
[ttshare]“Never stop dreaming.” ~ Paulo Coelho[/ttshare]
Above all, never stop dreaming. It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. Just believe anything is possible.
