What would YOU do...?



What would you do if you could do anything you wanted? What would you be if you could be anyone you ever wanted? If you could live the way you wanted to, would you? Or would you think about society and their reactions? Would you care about their opinions if you could live life the way you wanted to?

Is living life the way you want even possible in the world right now?

Many of us want to do things that may seem in some way, impossible due to restrictions and rules. Living life in that way makes you lose your induviduality and uniqueness. Stripped of society, education, restriction and social stigma, what are we underneath? Doing what you do just because society may frown on you otherwise is treacherous to oneself. Life is too short to be filled with regrets. Looking back, you should see only the good things that you've done, the bad things from which you've learnt and never be ashamed of the person you once were. Because life is a series of events. Each makes us a better person than the one we were before. If you do what you love, you will automatically do it well.And the heart will be ever content.

So be whoever you want to be. Go wherever you want to go. Climb the highest mountain and do the craziest thing. Listen to your heart for it knows what its doing.

Forget about the past, for what is done is done. There is no way to undo it.
Forget about the future, for you have no control over it.
Live for today, for it is a gift. And that is why it is called the PRESENT.

"Listen to your heart for it knows what its doing"

I wholeheartedly agree. Deep down, you always know what to do if you are willing to listen to your instincts.


The last lines are my favourite though
