Only You Can Determine Your Life

Life is a game

Only You Can Determine Your Life

No one wakes up everyday and knows exactly how there day is going to go--sure they have an "agenda" but throughout the day there may be some unexpected things occuring. Life is a game. It is a game full of obstacles and surprises. It's inconsistent, unexpected and each person's is unique, but at the end of the day we are all players in this game that develop along the way.

The most interesting thing about life is the way we create our own stories. Life has no guarantees. What fun would it be if each chapter of our life was already written? No one knows what to expect from life, but they figure out who they are/who they want to be/what they like and dislike along the way.

In life we are influenced and shaped due to our experiences, environment and surroundings. People can influence our likes/dislikes, environment can influence our perception of things, experiences can create memories, bad/good, that we can learn from. Only you can determine your life and the type of person you want to be.

Life is a game. Sometimes we fail, and sometimes we succeed. The obstacles that get thrown at us our nothing but tests to see how each individual can truly handle them. When an unexpected turn of events happens we perceive this as a reward. Whoever told you life was easy was lying. As we get older there is more to balance and more hardships we must face. Only you can determine what kind of life you want to live. We are all just players trying to "win" in life. Life is beautiful; life is precious, and it's yours.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
