Letters to Myself

Letter 2

  You live only for yourself. Your experiences are yours alone. Stand for what you believe in. Stand for yourself.

  Who are you trying to impress? Why are you trying so hard? This is not your goal in life. You know your goal well. Then, why be distracted?

  Whenever you do something, ask yourself, is it for you or is it just to impress someone else. Also, ask yourself, if it is really worth it. Is it good or bad for your family and yourself? Your journey will be amongst these people. If you try to pave a new path for yourself, you might lose some of these people. These are the people who love, care and cherish you. The others might seem like-minded, but in the end, the people who turn up when you are in need are the only ones you need to live for. To make them happy and to keep them like that is your task.

  Your life is a blessing amongst these people. Be thankful. They may seem hard and gritty on the outside, but on the inside they care and that's all that matters.

  Don't be a"wannabe". Be a person who heals people by their mere presence. Be sincere, disciplined, kind, thankful and helpful. Don't be harsh on anyone. If you can't make them happy, you have no right to make them feel sad.
