The Long Road Ahead

I’m 24 this yearI was listening to Gary Vee, he was talking about perspective and how he was obsessed with other peoples this got me thinking about how my own perspective has changed over the past 2-3 years.

in the past my perspective was one where i did not think about the big picture.

I wasn’t taught or shown how to think for myself.

growing up i was taught to rely only on my mother and whatever she said was my gospel.

no one could change my mind!

SideNote: how do you know that you are supposed to think for yourself? you really don’t have that level of cognition that’s why you rely on your parents.

Unfortunately later in life it would cause a lot of issues for me, my mom started to drift away looking for her “Life back again”

That really sucked to hear.

my world began to crumble and I had nothing to latch unto,

This started my freefall where I had nothing or no one for a long time I was depressed but i didn’t really know sure there were counsellors and help from the school but i did not know how messed up i was.

Now at the age of 23 I have realised so much was wrong with that part of my life

i am thinking so much more clearly now

I have a new perspective on everything

And while i wish I was able to challenge those thought & feelings of the past

Now my only main concern is my happiness it feels like I have taken off shackles I’m free to live my life now with the only expectation being my own, I am where the buck stops in my life.

“If you are looking for bad in the world it’s easy to find if you are looking for the good in the world it’s easy to find, it’s all about what you’re looking for.” – Gary Vee

P.S: I will probably write more on my growing up at some point, I just wanted to put this out there.
