I chose to follow my passion, I chose to follow my dreams, I didn’t allow the opinions of others get the best of me. I created my own world, Introduced my own rules and principles. I became a new me, my former being died when I chose to be different from everyone else. I decided that everything around me would change including my personality. I refused hanging around with people who did not add any importance to my life. I chose to stay away from those who were being parasitic other than symbiotic. I abstained from people who were been selfish, thinking of themselves alone, and do not care of those around them. I stopped associating myself with those people whose aim was only to benefit from you and not give you anything back in return. I have come to realize my existence on earth. I found my destiny.

We fail to reason that there are indeed guidelines to how life actually works. Atimes, we ponder on reasons why we are still backward in life, we also stir up questions like why are we still encountering bad lucks, is life being cruel to us?

No one is always busy, it just depends on what number you are on their priority list. Don’t fake your life; many people do that because they want to measure heights with others. Be yourself, you have one life to live, avoid letting people's opinions be your reality, stand for the right course and don’t be easily moved in making important decisions. I thought of copying or imitating others, at one stage in life, it looked okay at the beginning, but at the later part it seemed unfavourable. Then I came to a decision that in the battle of life, every one is solely responsible for their actions. I chose to do things my own way, introduce my own rules, and play the game of life my way. Thus, the only way you can live a satisfying life, is to be creative, imaginative and also active. Create memories, discoveries and take your time, working it out. - David Clevis Don’t work yourself out, do things one at a time and don’t stress yourself. Stress is a choice so i...

WALKED AWAY There were times when we had no option but to walk away from some daring situations, which tend to test our intelligence. Many atimes, because it is difficult to deal with, or does not give you any advantage you just walk away from things. Anytime you remember or recall such painful or tragedic events or happenings you feelings get hurt. When you walk away without handling that situation you are giving more room for history to repeat itself once again and unfold and when it does, you will be destabilized by the circumstance.
