Don’t keep looking for answers from other people… you will be misguided I haven’t found my trajectory in life yet and I keep looking for answers from other people about what I should do. What I forget is that people always speak from their insecurities and views. I have also tried to be content with my own decisions which didn’t happen…
Day in and day out I asked the opinion of others which made me even more insecure about my decisions. And then I looked at my brother… he needs no body’s consent for his decision and he’s living… I thought I should be more like him he seems mature.
Whatever decision he decides he keeps to himself which is a quality to be appreciated. I understood that I shouldn’t announce my decisions every now and then fishing for opinions.
Even the closest people will misguide you I understood that my situation in life is fine; I had to come to terms with this. You know your situation better than anyone and you should be the one to take control of it and improve or continue your journey.
Even if your situation is not bad at all people make it seem like it is pointing out the negative aspects which inevitably exist and make you feel even more misguided. So what I have learned is if I am not content with myself I should only deal with myself not with anyone else.
