Since You Only Get One Life, Live It Your Way.

Life isn’t about what you make, who you know, or what your title is. Life is all about who you become. It’s about how you live, how you love, and how you use your gifts and talents to change the world.
 

In a world of full of naysayers, fakers, haters, and all kinds of negative people wrapped up in between, it’s easy to lose sight of yourself. It’s easy to lose sight of who you are and who it is that you should be. The world has become completely and utterly saturated in telling us who we should be or that we are not enough. Everyone is out to prove they are more than they are. It can be exhausting and annoying, making you want to completely shut down the world.
 

Substance is missing, meaning to life is missing. I’m exhausted by all of the bragging, the boasting, and the selfie-ness. I have become exhausted by people trying to tell me how I should be and how I should be living my life. I have become exhausted. I just want to live my life in my way. I want to live in a way that sets me free from everyone and everything trying to tell me who I should be or where I should be at this point of my life.
 

I have decided that since I only get one life, I’m going to fully live it in my own way…my way.


 

Life used to get so routine that I often became numb to it, just going with the flow. I would allow others to pull me into believing what they believed about me and how I should live my life. But deep down, I knew I could be more. Deep down I knew there was more to my life than the one that I was living. I had to make the decision for myself that I was going to aim to lead my life in the way that fulfilled my soul. Living life my way is allowing me to reach for my happiness and my peace.
 

Since I only get one life to live it my way, I’m choosing to break free from the madness of noise and everything that takes me off of the path of living my truth, of walking to the beat of my own drum, and of loving myself for who I am, imperfections and all. For once, I’m going to choose to live life my way.
 

I honestly believe we are wired to live our truth and to live in the way that fully encompasses our purpose. I think the reason many of us are sad or down about life is because we are choosing to settle and choosing to allow others to dictate who we should be. I wish we would realize that we each have much more to offer and to live for. We cannot let the negative voices of others convince us otherwise.
 

Convince yourself that this is your life and you are going to live it to the fullest in your own way, becoming all that you can and giving it all that you got. At the end of the day, you only get one life. Make the most of it.
