Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

i enjoy moments like this sometimes. to feel the world around me. standing still. doing nothing. this is the moment when my mind feels most at peace with the world. time stops, as if it does not exist.

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
-Oscar Wilde

one may disagree. but some of those times when we hear someone saying "it is the best way for you", "believe me, this is what you should do", "you don't know more than i do and i think you...", "you should try to not go against your parents' will" etc.

you won't agree but don't you think there is some degree of manipulation? they do not hope to see you going against their hope.

perhaps, yes... they don't think the path or way of things you are taking charge is the best way, not a better way than what they have in mind. and yes, you may have their best interest at heart and they are showing that they do care about you.

but, as they are telling you what to do and what not to do, they are sweeping off the privilege of yours to take charge of your own life.

you may think "selfishness" is a strong word. but it is not that strong if you realise there is some degree of selfishness in them, who are having their hopes on you, hoping that you won't let them down, and work towards what they think is best for you.

what they do not wish to see is, your rebellion.

to live a life they wishes you to live.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

-Josh Billings

------------

people sometimes lose sight of why they are doing something. Ask yourself, is this important to me? Does it makes me happy? is this what i am looking for? is this taking me a step closer to my bigger goal/ ultimate goal?

sometimes we are too immersed in the struggle to get the good cards, or taking all too seriously about whether the good cards are in hand, that we overlook the more important part of getting to know yourself well enough to play your role well. the good cards here, meaning having everything blissfully good on your side, which helps you reach your goal taking the easier path.

having good cards in hand is a plus, but do you use them well? some people comes from rich and strong background, but how did they turn out to be? they did not play their cards well. On the other hand, some people from a background not as strong who develop his/her interests/talents well, is on their way to a successful/ meaningful life.
