Letting Life Push You Around

Just a day taking initiative over my life I feel like I've been letting life pass me by. Living in life rather than living life. I think at one point in my life I lost all faith in myself to make the right choices, lost faith in life, people and love.

September I've learned to take things one step, one day at a time. Let things settle before reacting to the situation. Realizing that real power can never be taken away or lost. That control is imaginary. The more you try to control the situation, the more life will show you that you can't.

When it comes to life, I need to start living it. Not controlling it but start to live life. Smell the air in the early morning and appreciate it. Feel connected to all things rather than feeling alone in the world. Be grateful for what you have than not. And again, learn that control is just an illusion. Material things can control you, take over your sense of worth, and create an ego that clouds your vision into what's really beautiful.

Fight Club, one of my all time favorite movies. Brad Pitt says, "Only when you lose everything, are you free to do anything."

Maybe it's my bday talking or maybe it's myself just growing up. I'm not sure. But I know I need to be accountable for myself, my actions, and my choices. And I can't blame life for not giving me the hand I want. I need to make the best of it.
