The Author's Corner: Blaze of Glory

Over the years of our lives, we have achieved some of the things on our list of goals and dreams. In what has been our life, the reality is that most of those goals and dreams have come from someone other than us. This is the truth of how this society acts by not giving the individual the choice of choosing what they want in their lives.

To break this cycle is difficult because it is how it has been for ages. However, it takes a great deal of will power to stand up and take control of your life. In that change you will be faced with negativity from all of those who have been controlling your life. You will hear, “We only want the best for you.” In truth they are saying, “How dare you want to control your life.”

By taking control of your life and making the decisions that you want in your life, you will find true happiness. Then when you achieve that first goal that you have set out for yourself, you will see all those people who were trying to control your life vanish. They vanish because the power they once held over you is gone.

It can be a lonely path to be on as the people who you thought were friends were not friends in the first place. Thus, in leading you own life you will see who you true friends are as well which family members have been there for you all along.

For me, I have always walked my own path as for most of my childhood I did not have many friends. That point has stayed true to this very day. Finding friends has never been a need for me and the few that I do have know where they stand with me. I have always made my own decisions. I always wanted to become a chef, to move back to the area that I am from and to become an author. The people who are in my life know that I am a lone wolf who always had time for coffee, however I lead my life as I want to.

I have broken from society before I every moved to Edmonton for my Culinary schooling. I stopped watching TV and paying attention to all forms of media. I focused on what I wanted in my life. There were times when I fell from the top of the mountain only to climb back up again after learning the lesson that was being taught.

To walk this way is to be in your own world and following you own path that you truly have made for yourself. Do not take what other people think is best for you because the only one who knows what is best in your life is you. Take me as an example, do not rest until you have made your dreams come true.

Stay safe.
