Complicated life Quote by Unkown

“When you find yourself trapped between what moves you and what society tells you is right for you, always travel the route that makes you feel alive unless you want everyone to be happy, except you.

“When you find yourself trapped between what moves you and what society tells you is right for you, always travel the route that makes you feel alive unless you want everyone to be happy, except you. No matter where life takes you, big cities or small towns, you will inevitably come across others who think they know whats best for you people who think theyre better than you people who think happiness, success and beauty mean the same things to everyone. Theyll try to measure your worth based on what you have, instead of who you are. But you know better than that material things dont matter. Dont chase the money. Catch up to the ideas and activities that make you come alive. Go for the things of greater value the things money cant buy. What matters is having strength of character, an honest heart, and a sense of self-worth. If youre lucky enough to have any of these things, never sell them. Never sell yourself short.”
