I have been thinking a lot lately about living the life that I love, living with purpose and intention, and working towards greater goals. (It must have been the 5 Year Plan exercise my sweetie proposed we do.) In my life I have done some great things, but a lot of my life has been dictated or shaped around circumstances or family. The choices I have made are not always based on my ideals. No ones fault but my own.
My thought now though is that I can take more control of who I am and what I want to do... pleasing other people or trying to live up to their expectations or image of me isn't where I want to be.
The problem I struggle with is the idea that this is selfish.
Is it selfish to live life by your own terms?
