Wisdom Wednesday VII: "Make Your Life What You Want It To Be"

12/30/2015

0 Comments

 
For my seventh and final Wisdom Wednesday of the year, I am going to choose something that was said to me by my father, on both my graduation from middle school, and again to me after my graduation from high school. What he told me is that you can make your life whatever you want it to be!

It might seem so simple, yet so broad at the same time, and it is, but there is so much more to it than that. What this piece of advice is saying, is that whatever you want to do with your life, is it all up to you. Only you have the power and the ability to change your life. Only you hold the key to unlocking your hearts most inner desires! (Deep right there, I know!)

I know you might say, 'But Dylan, other people from the outside can have positive or negative effects on your life too!", and you're right, but it is all about not allowing those words, if they are bad, to manipulate you, and not allowing them to change who you truly are inside, because if you do, then those people will win. If the goods words change you, then that's all good in the hood!

This can be such a big piece of advice as well, as we all come into the new year of 2016, with high hopes for an excellent year. With this piece of advice, you can come into this new year, and make it whatever you want it to be! Don't let other things or people hold you back! You can do as much, or as little as you want!

You want to join a club or sport in school? - Do it!
You want to maybe become the Captain or leader of said club or said sport? - Oh Captain! My Captain!
You want to ask your friend out on a date? - Good luck to ya! Invite me to the ceremony!
You want to study harder, or pay attention in school to get better grades? - Get it done! Get that diploma!
You want to break up with a toxic friendship or relationship? - Don't let the door hit ya on the way out!
You want to make new friends? - Get out there!
You want to get a job? - Make that money son!
You want to buy something like a car, or a house? - Go for it!
You want to lose weight for health reasons, or for other general appeal? - God bless ya!
You want to become more responsible for your actions? - Good for yo!

It's all about wanting to please yourself. You might think thats selfish, but it's not in the context that I am writing to you all in. What I am saying is that you are only hurting yourself, if you let other people's thoughts and actions change the way that you go about your business.

It's ridiculous to me, that people will change their whole life's dreams, for the sake of other peoples opinions, that don't really care about or for you. You should not be worried about what others might say or think about you. If you are happy with who you are inside, then your 'haters' have no hook to hang their hat on! Period, end of sentence, and onto the next paragraph! 

(I actually went onto the next paragraph!) It is all about taking that first step, that drive, that initiative! You need to be happy with yourself, and know who you are inside, to figure out how to make your life the best that it can be. This is not an easy task to accomplish, but if you do so, and are able to, then your life will truly become magical, I guarantee it!

Was this advice helpful to you? Would this be something that you would want to follow in your life?

Peace and Love,
DGS
