Wrote this to a friend awhile back, just came across it. Maybe it will help you - Life is too short to not do exactly what you want to do. Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness. Everyone has their opinions, they will try to shape you, but many of them are just trying to compensate for the lack of joy in their own lives. Everyday I wake up and tell myself it’s going to be a good day. Not I hope it will be a good day, but that it’s going to be. I put positive energy out into the universe. You’re thoughts and your relationship with yourself is what defines the happiness you seek. Just remember, every day you wake up is another day above ground. Don’t think too much. Make it that simple. When it comes down to it, it really is black and white. Live now, do what YOU want to do and enjoy everything you can. Live for you. One more thing, you’ll never have an answer to questions about whats right or where you think you should or need to be, until you just do it. Take risks : The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. It’ll all be okay. Listen to music, breathe, and you’ll be fine.
