In life, we all live by standards whether they were set by society, culture, or family. As children, they give us guidance as to what is expected by others of our actions and behaviors. Although they may not be taught to us in a formal setting, we know exactly how we need to live our life to be considered normal. It makes others nervous when we move outside of these boundaries. As we grow older, we may begin to question or push these limits that no longer feel comfortable for us. Without even considering how it may affect the order of things, we may begin living a life that feels more natural for us. It is with true courage that we continue being true to who we are. As long as we are not hurting ourselves or others, we can create a new standard by living a peaceful existence. Today, challenge yourself and do something different. How brave are you to push the standards that you know and live by? Is there something that you’ve always wanted to do but felt that everyone would question your actions? Ask yourself if it’s your standards that are holding you back or is it your fears? Take a leap of faith and be true to yourself.
It would be easier if we had signs telling us what to do in our life...
(It's easier to just follow what others have done before us. But I know it's not my path to do so. It's hard to forge a path of my own, when I'm not sure where it is that I'm going. Sometimes it's just blind faith that has me going on my journey.)
