A few different recent events have brought the following phrase to mind,
'No man is an island.'
Whenever something happens to someone (good or bad) the affect it has doesn't just effect the person it's happened to and the ripple affect doesn't stop at the people close to them either. We've all 'felt' for people we've never even met before when we hear of something tragic, moving or happy happening to them. And it's a nice trait of human nature to have compassion for others.
I was having a girly catch up last night and we were all sharing about whats happening in our lives at the moment. All of us had something we wanted to 'better.' Better house, better car, better job, better body, better mind set... You get the picture and I'm sure you have a long list yourself.
My message in life is always to live life to the full and go for everything you want 100%!
But what about when it effects others in a bad way? How far should you go to get everything you want?
To get to the top of your game in business you're most likely going to annoy people along the way. Normally though the problem lies with the people getting annoyed. More than likely, jealously that they aren't making their dreams a reality or worse still - they don't have any dreams. I wonder how many of those people will want to know you again when your successful and probably drop you again if you lost it all? I think as long as your not purposely screwing people over in business you should go full throttle to reach your goals.
What about when your not happy in a relationship and you decide it's time to move on? What if your partner doesn't want to move on or change to keep you? Do you move on to please yourself or stay put and hope its gets better, or settle for less than what you really want? I don't have a right answer and everyone's different. My only opinion is that if you don't love someone you should leave them. How cruel to stay with someone you don't really love?
If your family is 'religious' or has strong thoughts about the way you should conduct your life, but deep down in your heart you dont agree, what should you do? Live a lie so as not to offend your family or be true to yourself at the risk of being ostrasised - black sheep syndrome. As a mother I hate to think my children might do something I strongly disagree with, but I can't control them and I'd like to think that whatever path they take in life I wouldn't let it effect me - it certainly wouldn't affect my love for them.
As a mother is it right to stay home and if needs be claim benefits to support your family as long as your at home for your little ones? Or do you go out and work at the risk of your children not 'getting the correct start in life' ? What effect would it have on your partner if you stayed at home or went to work? I guess everyone has an opinion, normally the people that have never been in the situation. In the words of the great philosopher Chimpmunk, 'opinions aren't facts, take them in and let them go.'
How many people should we stop and think about the affects our actions might have on them before we make a decision?
Should people allow themselves to be effected by others?
It's hard to treat people the way we want to be treated if it means we don't get what we really want.
Every time someone wins, does someone else have to loose?
Go for what you want, reach your dreams, become a better person and grow. But be careful, no one wants to spend their life wondering what karma has in store.
'Do what you want and believe in because those who matter support you and those who dont support, you dont matter.'
