"Life choices" - I have heard this phrase a few times in the past month. Mostly in reference to my personal and professional choices. They have been different, unconventional and life-altering. Mostly by the virtue of circumstances and my short attention span.
Nonetheless, I am pretty darn happy with all my choices. While I am practicing the art of making "healthier" and smart choices (food and otherwise) but over all I like where the path has led me.
One reason why I am at peace with my choices is because I NEVER compare my life to anyone else's. My life is my own. I am here due to 'which family I was born in, which country I was born in, the personality I was born with, and then what I did with all of those variables. No two people have the same starting point. Not even twins. So the question of comparing and resenting doesn't arise. As long as I am actively choosing growth in ever moment and learning from every mistake, I count that as a successful life choice.
I don't like preaching so I won't. All I would say is there is nothing positive about envying anyone. Everyone has their own path. Do what makes you happy. Everyday. Rest will follow.

These fabulous pictures are taken by my friend - Anita - at the Daunt Books Store in Marylebone, London. Even if you don't like books, you must visit.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic blog post Tanvii. You talk sense girl, and I totally need to listen to this advice. So many times I compare myself to others, but you're right. We are all unique, and have made the choices we have made. If we are not happy with life, we can make a change, but the change should be for us, and us alone.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures - that bookstore is on the list for my next trip to London!
