Exploring the fabric of our stories one character at a time.

How bad do you want to fight for it?

Is life a series of patterns? Seems like it. Because someone recently pointed out to me that I am following a pattern lately. It is not something I realize I do, but very easy to fall into. You know the pattern. First you fight for what you want. Then you see some change and are happier. So, you start to relax a little, only to find you stop getting what you want. You get frustrated but are too tired to fight for it again. You end up almost giving up. That is until you have enough and fight once again. Sound familiar?

Decisions

I was talking with my mom today about how some people go through their life being told what to do. I grew up this way. Being the youngest and only girl in the family, I was overprotected. I was told what to do, how to act and to mind my manners. It was ingrained into me throughout my childhood. But the result is now I second-guess every decision I make. Now, I am much older and have learned to trust my instinct. But not many have that. I still overthink and go into a near panic attack when I am faced with a major decision. In return, I end up losing out on wonderful opportunities.

Paths

We go through life following a path that we design. The choices we make sculpt our life story. We will be faced with chances we want to take and choices we don’t. Ultimately, we need to understand and choose what we want in our life. But then fight for it. Don’t know what you want? No problem, start smaller. As long as you start.

We all want to have a happy life. Smiling every day and having love all of the time. But we can’t always have that. But if you fight for it, you can have more days of it. I know it will be hard. There will be days you want to give up. That doesn’t mean you should. It is time to choose the path of your life. Making decisions is scary, but necessary. If you have a strong support team, your decision will work. One day it will work. Never give up on what you want. Never give up on you.
