[Right]Wrong Reasons

Why do you do things...? Who do you do them for...?

Who are you achieving for? To fufill your dreams or your parents'? Do you help others to boost your self esteem, or to grant others their small dreams... Do you participate in activities to take your mind off things... or to put your mind in a place that you enjoy? What are you doing and who is it for... What are your intentions?

Why do you care? Because its socially unacceptable to say that you don't, or is there actually meaning in your feelings of dislike... or approval? Don't pretend to believe, dont bend your values; you may lie to others... please others but you lie to yourself. When you can't trust yourself, who can you trust?

Why push yourself to achieve other peoples dreams when you're not happy with your life? You're just convincing yourself you want something... when really what you need is something else. If you're selfless to the extent when your living for someone else... where do you find value in yourself...? Do they value you...?

What are you working for... for the satisfaction, for the joy... for the money... It's your life, and what you accomplish is what you live with. Don't let this tell you how to live your life. Don't let materials drive your life... Don't let society control how you live.

Look in the mirror and ask yourself if you like what you see. If you can approve of what your doing... who you've become and who you will be, you're the best you can be.

Don't let the moment slip by for you to perform to achieve your goals... please yourself... not the audience... help for the sake of helping... and not for the recognition. The world is your stage... though the audience may be watching... in the end... its the directors vision that is fufilled... you decide the outcome... the audience is just there to see the results...

Be selfish when you need, and selfless when it counts... live life from the heart... because when you live for someone elses, you have no control for when your heart breaks. The threads to your heart are then tied to places beyond control... and when the threads are cut... the origins are where you trace back your pain to. When you're happy with who you are and what you're doing, when you're dissapointed... theres no one to blame but yourself... and often, its easier to forgive ourselves so keep track of your heart strings and play your own songs... When you anchor your heart to others... you never know when they'll pull away.

Live for the right reasons... and make the best of whats left of your life, when you live for the "wrong" reasons... your live becomes someone elses. Life is your vehicle, you are the driver... how you push it, modify it, what you put into it... its up to you... when your friends are put in control, and you crash... who do you blame? Sometimes its good to have a mechanic take a look, fix you up... cause you can't do it all alone... but just remember... you get yourself from Point A to Point B.
