Living life on your own terms

This seems to be a very foreign concept in this day and age for some reason. What ever happened to thinking for yourself and doing what you wanted to because that was your own personal choice. Instead everyone is just playing copycat and doing the same as everyone else around them even if they are uncomfortable doing it.

I made a choice a long time ago to live this way because I was comfortable and to be completely honest, I really did not care what everyone else around me thought. I was going to the gym when I wanted to and just taking my time doing whatever I was doing.

That is what living life on your own terms is all about, you decide what you are going to do when you want to do it because you are your number one priority, nobody else, just you.

It really baffles me that people are not living this way, it is as though having brains is non-essential in this life. It has become a competition as to who can do the same thing in the most ridiculous way possible or who can make a better screw up of their life instead of living the best life possible the way that you want.

Come on, seriously. As I have said many times, we only have one life and we need to make the most of it every single day as though it was our last. Life is short so we need to make it a memorable one in the best way possible. In all honesty, I think I have actually achieved quite a lot in my life. More than most people thought I would. Yes, it is true that it has taken me longer to get to that point but I have enjoyed the journey because life is a journey and I am a much better, stronger version of the person that I was in the past.

Growth takes place over time, it cannot be rushed, everything in our lives happens in its own time when the time is right. You don's see nature complaining because the leaves are not growing fast enough or the flowers are not blooming when you want them to. So why are you trying to live your life in such a rushed pace, enjoy the journey that is life.

You choose when to do something when you are ready to do it but don't put things off because you are afraid, that is what holds us back and then we have no real reason to complain. As they say, F.E.A.R stands for False Evidence Appearing Real. We convince ourselves that something which is right seems to be wrong because we are afraid to do it.

Don't be afraid to live your life on your own terms but don't hold yourself back out of fear, the sooner you do something your way, knowing that is is the right way and it will work out the better your life will be. You know when something is right because it will happen at the perfect time.
