Frustrated Relief

I throw my fair share of tantrums around the house like any other kid on the block.  It is not uncommon my parents and I don't see eye to eye on things.  But at the end of the day I ask myself “is it so out of the question my parents have my best interest at heart?” and all that anger just melts away.

A lot of times, we get tired of parents telling us what to do and what not to.  We refuse to believe what they think is good for us is in reality what's best for us.  But should we fight for our beliefs or let go and move on?

Years, sportswear powerhouse has taught us “impossible is nothing”, yet years, motivational posters have reminded us that we should move on because life is too short to be anything but happy.  So which one of the two is a better piece of advice?

One way or the other someone gets hurt.  We hear a lot – the greatest joy in life is to see those you love happy – but in reality, to what extent does this altruistic attitude hold true?  Can we fight the urge to disapprove of their choices and be genuinely happy for them even if we are convinced that they aren’t making wise decisions?

Epiphany of the day - Life is a constant struggle between contradictions. In light of that, I have decided the best way to live it is to embrace life and all it entails.

We are only as happy as we make up our minds to be.
