Are You Someone Else’s Something?

" You never become anything when you're too focused on being someone else's something... - Refuze "

What did you wanna be when you grew up?   NOT THIS!!!  Ask an adult this question and you will find the majority of them are worlds away from what they actually ever wanted to be.  See, somewhere along the line life will eventually get in the way.  A house, kids, husband or wife become your priority and those who got lost in their need to be something for someone else, end up looking back wondering how did they end up in their current position!  They conditioned themselves to be so dependent and involved in everyone else's life, they never found what it was inside themselves  made them tick.  They allowed the need to fit in and be accepted distract them from their own goals and dreams.  Feeling like youth and time were endless fountains and the day would never come when they would look back and say "WOW!!  This is not how I planned it!"  Guess what.  That day comes and that's exactly how they planned it because they didn't actually planned for anything.

Is this what you want?  Right now, your mind is full of all the possibilities, and the belief that you can do ANYTHING.  You can.  But you have to DO IT!!  Whatever it is you want to do, get to doin it!!  Before you know, you will end up being one of the 80% of people who claim to hate their jobs and their lives.  As you grow, the friends you are currently performing for and the ones which you believe will surround you forever will eventually break off in search of their own obligations and life.  Your weekend get togethers become once a month, then once a year (if even that).  Normally they are reduced to merely commenting on each other's Facebook status when they write "I miss when life was simple".  Life IS simple.  You just have to understand how it works and how NOT to get lost in other's worlds.  Take an active participation in your own life and stay ahead of the curve.  Once you let go your feeling of wanting to be for

If you have a passion, pursue it.  Treat it like it's already your career.  Become it.  Research it, find everything about it you can.  Look for others who enjoy doing the same.  Is there anyone doing what you love as a career?  If so, how did they get to that level.  Copy what they did to get there, ask them for advise if you can.  Just find the thing that you enjoy doing most and do it!!  If you haven't found one, FIND IT!!!  The internet is an amazing tool for this.  Sure it's entertaining to video chat and stalk your friend's Facebook page, but will this get you what you really want out of life?  Use Facebook and all the other social media sites to network and find friends that have the same interest as you.  Surround yourself with people that will support your interest and may help you with it.  I'm not saying your friends in school aren't important, good relationships are a must but make sure you have your priorities in order.  Your future should always come first.  You are the only who decides it, creates it and then enjoys it...  or not...
