Do you feel YOU call all the shots in your life?
I read once in an article from PsychToday that you wont feel true joy until *you* call the shots in your life. I really liked that. But I struggle with it because I second guess myself so MUCH. 馃槦

I don鈥檛 know how joyful it is to call all the shots. I鈥檇 love a helping hand or a caring partner to share the burden.
It feels real. You have to fight yourself for yourself because I think we鈥檝e all learned at some point to follow the leader and stfu. But once that guilt is gone (looooong process), you do kinda feel refreshed. Purely you. Only thing is, it doesn鈥檛 mean anyone cares or will respect you more. You end up more alone and secluded because you don鈥檛 run with the herd.
It鈥檚 a separate journey from the masses who willfully surrender their truth in exchange for security.
When you call the shots on your own life, don鈥檛 expect anyone to understand 馃挃

@AlchemyFox If this helps, I once read a wonderful excerpt by a great life coach..Martha Beck. She said if you truly want real joy, you will need to stray away from or alter your path from SOME form of society. And that people will question you, but do not pay that any mind. I liked that. So even though you may sometimes feel alone, you are discovering a TRUE path, not one just from the masses. Iam trying soon to do as she said but it definitely IS not 'easy' as you said. I want to feel that*I* am choosing for my life now, EVEN if mistakes occur on the way...not just living only by what 'society' tells me. People MADE up these rules, and sometimes we need to honor our own self, and occasionally live by our OWN as well.
