Purposes

I wonder where everyone is really going in life. Some people are living their lives to the fullest, getting out there, and being whoever they want to be without concern for too many of the consequences. Living life in the fast lane, as we might like to call it. Some live life in a slower lane, afraid of what some people think, and worrying over the smaller things. It doesn't necessarily mean that either one of these people is wrong, it's just a different life strategy, and everyone has their own. Do we really have choices; and can we all control our feelings? Not necessarily, but that doesn't mean we can't try to live out our life to the fullest. Take charge, what's your purpose? Have you found it yet? If not, are you looking? Where are you going, what do you want to be? Are you running towards the truth or running from it? All important points to consider. Learn who you are as best as you can, try to find out the meaning of the feelings in your head and what's causing them. Have you got any regrets? Merriam Webster dictionary defines a regret as " to be very sorry for something". It's okay to feel bad about things, and to wish they didn't happen, but you are the one who chooses if these things effect you in your current stage of life. It's possible to break free if you try hard enough, but again, it's all up to you. Only you can control this kind of thing. We can always try to do what we want when we want; trying not to regret anything, but this isn't necessarily the best strategy. If we live our lives without regards to the consequences, we're bound to run into trouble somewhere, so all angles must be considered. Despite the fact that our lives are in our hands, there is also a lot of outer influence. No one makes all of their decisions completely by themself; and it's okay to ask for help sometimes. We'd never find ourselves completely if we didn't have others to help us. Even if we try to live our life to the fullest, we can still fail. There are still constraints to everything, but that's life. We've got to try to make something of it. And remember, you have the most influence over yourself. Use that influence as much as possible.

On a last note, "Do you serve a purpose or purposely serve" (from 'Omega' by Stone Sour)
Are you living life for you or someone else?
If you're living for someone else, is that person still going to be important to you in 10 years?
Will you be able to go on without that person if they leave, or have you become completely dependent?
And most importantly, how much control do you actually have if you're basing everything you think about yourself on someone else?
Think about it.
