I have always thought that the biggest action in one’s life is the self. The barriers that are in front of us and the doors that we open are both the doors and the walls of our hearts.

Anger and pleasure, passion and hatred are but two different thoughts on the opposite sides of a line, and one step separates the two. It means our happiness depends more on what we consider life to be than on what life actually turned out to be.

We all have our likes and dislikes, our wishes and our despises in this thing called life. There is always hope for getting promotions, dread demotions, and sometimes just the desire to remain stagnant. But deep within us, we know this is not entirely true and that we are all steering our boats way past our perceived destinies.

One idea—it’s to give up, to let go—can turn everything on its head. Perhaps, it’s time to perfect those ideas, looking forward to the future and understanding that not each gap is a loss.

Many people have been astray due to their endeavors created by the fear of losing what they do not have but crave. They crave more and more, and that’s when they do not know the purpose of life.

Sometimes we have a need to have something; however, life is not always like that, and all we can do is try. It’s ok not to be full of it: Don’t fake it.
