Example Of Essay On Life Reflections

There are moments in our lives that change it completely. It can be basically anything that triggers those changes: experience, movie, phrase, even dream, both good and bad. And I would love to say that the expression we were offered to think about had changed my trail of thought in any way but it is not so.
First of all, I feel obliged to note that the passage itself about how you can be whoever you want to be and do whatever you want to do is really good and motivating and I myself deeply believe in it. The thing is that I have heard or read it about hundred times before, just maybe in a bit different wording. I fail to remember the exact moment when motivational slogans became so popular and widespread. But I think it is important to acknowledge such phenomenon as the excess of the motivational messages and its consequences. When you have all those “be a better version of yourself” and “set yourself free” popping at you from all screens you just get numb. The phrase simply loses its deep sense, you stop really noticing it.
Now, when I read this amazing incentive saying to realize that I can be what I want to, I experience mixed feelings. Living according to the motto in question requires a tremendous amount of strength and self-comprehension and for a long time, I was not ready for this. And as we all know, happiness is not a destination but a journey. This journey of following my inner desires and becoming a person I really wish to be is not always effortless.
On one hand, it is the amount of responsibility you have to take. For me, understanding that I and only I am responsible for my life was a huge commotion, and I have no one to blame for the choices I do, good or bad. On the other hand, and it is very personal and something I was not aware until recently, some mottos make me unconfident and self-conscious when I read them. The lines I am reflecting upon luckily do not awake such feelings in me, but still an overwhelming amount of motivational phrases that teenagers see on Internet encourage them to travel the world, find great jobs with both great salary, buy a wonderful house and create a family with a loving and caring person. And you would ask what is so wrong with them. Nothing. Except that instead of inspiring me they often make me feel an outcast because at the current point of my life it is different from what those slogans propagandize.
Finally, I think sometimes people are simply not ready to soak in the wisdom of some sayings. Forcing any lifestyle on them makes no good. Once we are ready to be who we really are, we will follow our hearts’ lead.
