Life is like going on a long journey of discovery with some preplanned destinations and other unexpected and sometimes pleasantly surprising ones. It’s your journey. Walk your own path only paying attention to those who have earned it. Everyone will have opinions on you. Everyone will have opinions on whatever you do. Your choices in life will be scrutinised and criticised. Don’t let your decisions and choices be swayed by those who have never walked a similar path. Usually those most free in offering their opinions have done little in their lives. Have they earned the right to be listened to and their advice acted upon? No. Ignore naysayers as they are poison to your mind. Life can be an exciting adventure and there will be ups and downs. The more you seek to experience the more ups and downs. Take the good with the bad. The bad are growth opportunities so serve crucial purpose too. Enjoy the journey. Choose your paths freely. Learn all the way along.
