You Are Your Own Person

Hello, 

I have a quote for you today. "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." It is a quote that is up in my English classroom at school and I really like it. People always say that they want to go and find themselves but you don't need to find yourself, you need to create yourself and who you want to be. 

You are your own person. You make your own decisions and make your own mistakes. Life is like Sophie's choice, everything you do is up to you. You can make your own decisions and your own mistakes. Life is full of choices and it's up to you to make the right ones or learn from your mistakes. You are the only one who can make those choices, nobody else; you. You are your own person, you're a person who can see what is wrong and what is right in the world, no matter what has happened to you in the past or what you've done, you are your own person and you can make choices.

You just have to recognise what the right choice is. What the mistake you made was. Did you chose to say something you didn't mean? Did your choice become a mistake? Did your mistake actually turn out to be a good choice? Think before you act. If you're about to do something or say something, think about it first. Think about if it actually needs to be said or not or if it's going to hurt another person. 

Life is full of 'what if's?' It's full of choices and making decisions. There is no point dwelling on the what ifs, it's all in the past. You have to focus on what the future holds and not what the past holds. Life is full of ups and downs, left and rights and if you take the wrong turn, that's okay as long as you realise where you went wrong. 

Life is full of decisions; make the right ones. 

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
