There are unlimited opportunities to try, new things to experience and different activities to participate in throughout our lives. We may be eager to take on some of them and others we may do simply because of where we are and what’s going on. Our choices are ours to make but sometimes because of the situation we’re in we may feel pressured to do something we don’t want or go somewhere we’d rather avoid. Those around us may suggest something because they think it’ll be good for us or will move us forward toward a goal we’ve been seeking. They may be right but ultimately we know ourselves better than anyone else and if we don’t want to participate, we can pass. There are all kinds of opinions out there and we can listen to them and take whatever we feel is helpful, letting the others go. We are always in control of our lives and can go along and take all the suggestions offered, or stay where we are and determine our own road forward. It’s good to participate with others when that participation gives us something we desire or need. But if we want to go a different way, we can step back and choose our own path. We don’t always have to swim upstream but sometimes going in a different direction than everyone else is the only way to our goals. Our lives are ours to design and we are responsible for every decision we make. If we go along when we don’t want to and end up somewhere we didn’t want to go, we own it. We’re wise enough to know how we want to proceed. Every choice we make will take us somewhere. Making the choices that take us where we most want to go will bring us satisfaction and happiness.
There can be a lot of pressure to go along when we’re in a group. Sometimes if we’re in a situation where they have authority over us we may need to comply. But most of the time we can choose our own path. Even if everyone else wants us to go along, if it’s not something we desire, we can go another way. We can let others make their own choices and move forward without us. Our experiences are unique to our personal lives and we determine our personal destinations. We can be in control and make the decisions that take us where we want to go the most.
It’s nice to have others around us as we navigate through our days but there may be times when our desires require us to move forward alone. We all chart our own courses and have all the courage and determination we need to succeed at anything we choose. We can find the way forward by ourselves and reach any goal we desire. We determine what our lives will be even if it’s different than what others want for us. The roads we take are ours to choose and every destination is possible. We can make all our dreams come true by focusing on what’s most important and then doing what it takes to get there.
Today if you’re being pressured to do something you really don’t want to do, remember you know yourself better than anyone else. You know what you want and what you need. Be confident and choose the paths that will open the doors to your goals. You can do anything. The whole world is there for you and every dream can come true.
