Who's life are you living?
What were you put here on Earth for?
What dictates what you do and what you don't do?
I was having a conversation with my teenage daughter the other day about being open minded.
I said that it takes open-mindedness to really find out how you feel about things.
At the end of our conversation on views and opinions, she told me that I was an 'awesome person'.
To me that was the best compliment I could ever receive from one of my children. I asked her why she thought this.
Her reply:
'Because, you don't let anyone boss you around, you live your life the way you want to.'
My response was, 'I only have one life; why should I live it for somebody else?' (Of course I live very much of it for my children, but other than that, I live life for myself.)
That reply should not be taken as selfish, though maybe it is...I believe that this is my own life and I take time to understand who I am and be who I am, otherwise my life is not worth living.
