"When you're writing your life story, don't let someone else hold your pen" Anonymous
Greetings to all who read me, I hope you are having a great day. I begin this publication with that phrase that I particularly liked, and it is because it is transcendental, we should not take it literally, not assume it in such a way that we say that at the end of our days we should write our biography, that's not what I want to get at, although if someone wants to write it literally, obviously they can do so, but in this case I am more referring to the background of this phrase and the way in which we could use it today and keep it in our minds permanently for personal benefit.
What you do in your daily life answers your true desires?... It is a simple question, but for many it could be difficult to answer, or perhaps if they go deeper and analyze their lives they could find answers that are not very pleasant for them... But we should not be afraid of this, in the end one of the best things we can do is to question ourselves, because that way we get to know ourselves better and to direct our true desires.
I think that everything starts by knowing what we really want to do, what we like, what our goals are, and we can only know that by asking ourselves, there is no other way, or maybe there is?, the detail is that at the moment in which we permanently ask for advice from others they will give us their point of view of what we should do, and these respond is based on their tastes and experiences, unless the person is very objective, knows us very well and really tries to tell us what is really best for us.
Just because someone gives you a good idea doesn't mean it's good for you. Does this idea go hand in hand with your true desires, because if it doesn't then you are simply going to do the first thing they offer you. That's why I'll repeat, the first thing is to start with ourselves, to know what we like, what we are passionate about, and from there we must start to write our story.
Because if you are not writing your story first it means that you are doing everything to write someone else's story, and yours at the end of your days will only remain as something that was modeled and written by someone else, and not by you, you will have lived, yes, surely, but not as you could or wanted to, but as someone else allowed.
I wanted to share some philosophical reflections in these days that we have left of this 2020, a year in which many of us have been tested, and we have had the opportunity to be much more with ourselves, and if you did not take advantage of this opportunity that life gave you you have done very badly.
I know that for all of us it has been a difficult few months, in which we had to do our best to continue living, to take care of ourselves, to take care of our families, but without a doubt we have learned, then, we must also learn to be the total owner of our lives, to direct it in that direction that we want, that is to say, we must dare to write our stories.
Have a great week ahead.
