Being an individual – – Asa Rodriguez

The spice of life

I think life would be tedious if we all followed the same exact rules. Besides, it wouldn’t work. We are all different. I can’t expect to be a bestseller author like such and such, or to have the same perceptions and philosophies as someone else.

And that is where the spice of life lies. Each one of us must discover our own path, our own way to perceive and create. Whatever we do, and whoever we are, it is up to us to discover that without trying to copy the formula others have used in their journeys.

Learn and make your way

That is not saying, of course, that we can’t learn from others. We definitely should, and must, learn from the experiences of others, especially from people we admire. But, as I see it, you should take only what works for your, and then add it to your own ideas.

Making my own path could be difficult, but it is only because no one has done it before. No one is like me. We are all different. It’s scary to make my own way, yes; but that is how I discover my place in the world, by creating it.

The unique journey

Different points of view

People have different opinions. That’s all it is, opinions, ways of understanding and perceiving life and all things in it. From a simple conversation to a book review to a terrible war. That is what humankind suffers, which is the attachment to their own views and opinions.

Never let the philosophies, views, opinions, suggestions of others affect you–this includes all politics and politicians, society’s established ways to see things, religion, family, friends. We are all shaped by our experiences, and we must listen to our hearts and be guided by empathy and our dreams.

Waking up

Life is a journey to become more and more awake, which is to learn and experience without letting the world influence us. New dreams, hopes, challenges can help us in waking up; however, if we allow the misery, the prejudice, the injustice of the world to make us miserable, then we won’t find the strength to build ourselves anew.

It’s all about focusing on yourself, working on yourself. What do I need to change?? What are the best habits that lead me to health and happiness?? Let go of others and what they think is right or wrong. Do not believe and follow blindly what others say, whoever they are. Thinking for yourself is the only way to wake up.
