On Deaf Ears?

From the day we are born until the day we die we are constantly learning. Learning from ourselves, learning from others. We learn from our own experiences. We learn from people who choose to preach unto others what they believe is right.

However, a lot of what we learn is wrong.

People are taught so many different things. To believe in and worship God, the all-powerful, all-knowing creator of the world, or that the world is not ruled or created by a God. To pursue a career that makes lots of money in order to comfortably raise a family, or that they should do what they love and what makes them happy. Some are taught not to interact with those who are different from them, while others learn that no matter what race, religion, or ethnicity a person is, they can still be great people.

So who gets to decide what's wrong and what's right? Your parents? Your peers?

The only one who can make that decision is yourself. You decide what you believe in. You decide what you want to do with your life. Why does it matter what others believe? Why does it matter what others want you to do?

Learn how to say "fuck it" every once in a while. Live life to the fullest. Have no regrets.

Don't let someone else live your life for you.
