Definite Determinant
Direction is personal. Stop chasing validation — pick your laws, respect rules without letting them define you, and become skilled at what's yours.
How far you go is not dependent on any man. The faster you realize this, the better your life.
How long will you be seeking validation from people? When will you be the validator of your own life?
Everything that has a mouth can talk, but only the plan and purpose of God for your life is the best. The fact that someone has lived for a very long time does not mean they are the best person to pick advice from. I mostly say, don't listen to advice but rather treat all advice as suggestions—after you logically think them through and pick the one that will best suit your life at that moment.
Pick your laws and define your rules. Laws are immutable, but rules are dynamic—from place to place and person to person. For instance, the Law of Giving may be one of your key principles for living, but the Law of Attraction might not be at the center of your heart.
Most parents decide for their children what they are supposed to become, only to realize that the will dies and the children are left to bear the consequences of those decisions. It depresses me; as humans, we end up living the life of another person—that is absurd.
I want to live and say, by my own choice, I became successful and fulfilled what was ordained for me, rather than saying I became useless because of my parents or someone else.
Be you, and you will never regret being yourself. You will live a life with less regret and blame.
Just discover what you want to become, and stay at it—become skilled at it. You will stand in front of kings, but be mindful when you dine with them.
What something is supposed to become is already inherent in it. No one has the legitimate right to define it. The more you relate with the One who made you, the better you get at discovering what you are meant to become.
