Don't Follow Everyone Else; Carve Your Own Path

Society nowadays is so focused on doing things the easy way. It seems like everyone just wants everything handed down to them. The thing is, what is easy isn't always what is right, and sometimes you need to do things the hard way because it is the right way. The easy way out isn't always the best, safest, or even morally sound depending on the situation. You shouldn't just take the easy way out because it is just that—easy. Always weigh your options. Sometimes the path that seems the hardest is the most worthwhile in the end.

Don't get caught up in what everyone else is doing. Ask yourself if what they're doing is right. The T.H.I.N.K. method can be applied here! Is it true? Is it helpful? Is it inspiring? Is it necessary? Is it kind? If you answered "no" to one or more of these questions, maybe you shouldn't be doing what everyone else is doing.

Life is all about carving your own path. That is why we all think, talk, and act differently from each other. Life would be very boring if we all followed the same road! Life is an eternal crossing of paths. Some will walk with you for awhile and then go off on their own trail. Sometimes, you get a mob of people going down one road and you're like "What the hell is wrong with them? They're going to walk off of that cliff!" You can try to reason with them and tell them about the cliff up ahead, but a lot of times, they won't believe you. They would rather do their own thing. You may get one or two people to leave the mob and follow you to safety, but you can't help everyone.

You don't have to follow what everyone else is doing, because sometimes, they could lead you to a cliff at the end of the road. The goal of your life is to do the things that are right and good for you and for others. Take caution and make sure you don't get caught up in the immorality of society. Question everything, and do the hard things if you have to, and always do what is right.

Let Go of the Past and Embrace Change

Leave the past in the past! You won’t progress in life if you’re dragging old habits around with you. If you keep trying the same thing over and over again, and you’re not getting the results that you want, maybe it’s time to try something new. T hink of it like diet and exercise. Some diets won't work for you, just like some exercises work better for other people than they will for you. It’s all about figuring out what works, rather than doing the same old thing and becoming disappointed every time you don’t get results. In order to move forward in your life, you need to learn to embrace change. Sometimes, you can get so caught up in sticking with the things that you know, that you wind up afraid of venturing out of your comfort zone. It’s easy to stay with what’s familiar, but you have to learn to let go of familiarity and let yourself embrace the new and the unknown. You need to allow yourself to be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You're stuck where you are righ...

Don't Allow Your Fears To Control Your Life

Everyone has something that they are afraid of—you, me, everyone! It’s not shameful to have these fears, but you shouldn’t allow them to take precedent over your life. Things only have power over you because you give them that power. If your fears are starting to hold you back from living the life that you want, then you need to rethink how you view those fears and learn to break past them in order to move on. Your limitations are only limitations because you allow them to be. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for, so don’t allow yourself to be brought down by your fears just because you’re worried that you won’t be able to overcome them. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and if that involves overcoming your fears, then you will be able to do just that! When you choose to avoid your fears and not face them, you open yourself up to even more fear, as well as limitations on your abilities. Facing your fears allows you to break free of the restrict...

There is so much in life to look forward to, so let's help each other out by naming the things that we're excited for. I'll start us off by saying that I'm excited to go to the beach tomorrow.
