What Is The Saddest Truth About Life?
Most people spend their whole life trying to conform to societal or family “norms.”
I know, I was that person. And I still am to an extent.
- If I made a Division 1 Football team as a walk-on never playing High School.
- If I owned my own business.
- If I had a gorgeous wife.
- If I could travel on a whim.
- If I made $500K a year.
All the above came true, and the happiness was temporary because I was doing it for other reasons than my passions or purpose. It was all accomplished on a very superficial level.
I was living a life of delusion, not one of reality, or purpose.
I’ve had a lot happen to me the past 3 years. Some really eye-opening events, situations and relationships.
I’m slowly learning “my” life, is my life. Not everyone will agree with it, hell, most won’t for that matter. It doesn’t matter what others think, what matters is what I think.
I repeatedly chased the one person that started this path of beautiful destruction. I had to meet her, had I not, who knows what path I would be on. That relationship was/is still VERY painful, but a lesson I needed to learn.
