☺ Inspirational: "This Life is Mine"☺

"Questa Vita e La Mia" translated to English; "This Life is Mine." It's tattooed on my arm for a good reason and it is a reason that I think is important.

Not to be mistaken for  "This is my life,"   "This Life is Mine" is a thought of gratitude and of control; that you get to choose your own life and how you are going to live it. Not the other way around. Yes, life happens, and there are certain things that we have no control over and we must accept that and to have "no expectations." However, at the end of the day, we also get to Choose what we do and how we want to live our lives. 

I think it is a topic many people struggle with, especially in a world that is constantly teaching us to conform and telling us what to do, how to live , and what is right and wrong. The bottom line is exactly this; This Life is Yours. You get to choose what you want to do. No one else gets a say in that. Well, lots of people, and subliminal messages, will try to tell you, but only you truly get to decide. Don't let others push you into things you do not want to do. Do not let others tell you how to live Your life. I'm not saying to never take other people's advice, on the contrary you can learn a lot from people--whether its by listening to some helpful words or by seeing by example exactly what you don't want to do or become. Regardless, there are lots of things you can learn from listening to people, so don't automatically turn them away. It doesn't mean that you have to take their advice just because you listen. Only You know what is right for You, when you truly listen to your heart and stop over-thinking with your Mind. Perhaps that is one of the biggest problems people face; thinking entirely too much to the point your mind has become an overloaded cannon ready to explode. No wonder people are so stressed out all the time. Be weary of the Mind and be attentive to the Heart. Live your life through your Heart, not your Mind. 

When you listen to your heart you will learn to live your life the way that You want to. The way that is true to You. Your choices are Yours. Your decisions are Yours. 

Never feel guilty for how you choose to live your life. You have every right to live the way that you choose. Your Life is Yours. Enjoy it the way that You want to enjoy it. If others critisize you, don't pay them any mind. If you are Happy and having fun then you are living your life the way that you should be.  

On the other side of things; if you are miserable and a mess all the time then it is probably time to re-evaluate the way you are living. But your life is still yours and only you can choose to make it better. Only You can want to make it better. You still don't have to do what other's may be telling you to do, but this may be an important time to have an open ear so that you can open your heart. 

Live openly and live freely. You don't have to live your life in the conventional, go to school, get a degree, get married, have children, grow old manner. Then again if that appeals to you, or certain parts of it appeal to you, then don't let anything steer you away from it either. Do the things that you want to do. Don't let others tell you what is right or what is wrong. There is no "wrong" or "right" way to live life, only the way you choose. You are not wrong for any of your thoughts or wants. Just be mindful that they are actually Your thoughts and wants and not ideas planted in your head through deceiving society or pushy minds. A good way to wager this is by if you are genuinely happy and if what you are doing makes you happy. Happiness is always a good guide to tell if you are living your life in harmony with who you truly are. Be intuitive with your true self. Get in touch with your true self. Try new things, try ordinary things, try anything your heart desires. Remember that the thing that matters most in life is Happiness. 

It is not selfishness to want to be Happy. Happiness is important. And you know how the expression goes, you must first help yourself before you are able to help others. So I'll say again, do not feel guilty over your desires and choices and wants, or for the way that you choose to live your life. You are choosing to live life that is in accordance with your Self. Be respectful of that and always be loving towards your self. 

Your life is yours. Yours to Choose. Yours to Live.  

☼ Don't let others tell you how to life Your life. 

☼ Only you know what is best for you. 

☼ So do the things that you want to do.

☼ You are not wrong for any of your choices, any of your desires, or any of your mistakes. 

Live the life You want to live. Live for Yourself. 

Peace & Love,
