Whose life is it?

I have one humble suggestion,
To make as of your actual situation,
It is inside, Of you that it needs to be resolved,
Not in the outside!
You have no control over how others feel,
You have no control over what others do,
You have no control over how others react,
You have no control over what others believe;
However, you have all the power over how you feel,
You have all the power over how you react,
You are the only one, who is at the command of your being.
How you react to life,
How you react to others,
How you react to the world,
Is a very personal choice,
That you make at the deepest core of your being,
Peace and serenity of your heart,
Is what matter the most,
It is your sole responsibility,
For it is nothing short,
Of a self discovery journey,
The business of the heart,
Is about achieving intimacy,
First and foremost with your self,
For it is nowhere outside your self,
How your mother reacts to your life is her issue not yours,
How your father reacts to your life is his issue not yours,
How your siblings react to your life is their issue not yours,
How your friends react to your life is their issue not yours,
It is your birth right to be the star and the decision maker of your own life,
Your life is not your moms, not your fathers, not anyone else’s but yours,
What you do with your life is: All Yours!
Regardless, if you choose to be a people pleaser or your own person.
