Live for yourself...

It's been a while since my last post. It's not because I've lost motivation or inspiration. The reason is something else, something deeper. I guess for now I' ll stick with, " I haven't had time."
I have been getting a lot of feedback lately from readers, some comments, and mostly questions. One question that has stuck in my mind was, what makes you write? I didn't have to think twice about the answer. I write because this blank canvas won't say anything back. I can write on it, it will listen and in the end when I am done speaking my mind it won't gave me an opinion or suggestion.

I noticed lately people can't stop imposing their opinions on others. I don't really understand why. Do people think we are so dependent on their peoples point of view, that they keep forcing you to believe that there way is the correct way? I think about it and I realize a lot of people in this world put their happiness in the other persons happiness. You following me? For example, "if your happy I'm happy." What the heck does that mean? Aren't you your own person. Don't you have feeling, emotions, thought, opinions? Why are people so dependent on other for their happiness?

I believe that people will always have a different view then you. I also believe that we should listen and then decide, does that suggestion benefit me? I also believe that we want our loved ones to be happy, seeing them hits that warm spot in our hearts, however where do we draw the line. When do we say, I am glad your happy and I value your point of view but today I'm just gona do me....

Your happiness, your mood, your emotions should not revolve around people. They belong to you, you control them, people just try to have an effect on them. Stay strong, live for you. Sometimes being self fish (in limitation) isn't bad.

Think about it:
When your a child you want to please your parents. You listen to them, they guide you.
When your a teen you want your friends to like you. Some follow, some go into peer pressure, others lead.
When you a adult you get into relationships pleasing the other person.
You get older have kids, you want to please your significant other and kids.
Then you have grandkids ....
Where does your happiness fit in this?

What I'm tryin to say is: stop depending on others for your happiness, find your happiness in things you enjoy in life. Other people will always have their suggestions, listen and decide if its the right thing for you.

Good bye for now.
