What Lies in My Mind

Materialistic things used to make me happy, until I realized the true happiness comes from within. For instance, music that has substance, makes me feel happy, which inspires me to write. Things like money, having women, cars, etc., can make you feel happy but then you wonder why in the back of your mind you are wondering, "is this what I really want???" because once it's all gone then what are you going to do. You must have a backup plan. My Grandfather told me to always have a backup plan in case one plan fails you have another to fall back on. It's always something out there for you but it's about time which is something we wish for and want to have more of. I should've done this, I should've done that, how this could have gone for me, if only this worked. Those kinds of questions pop up into your mind. You must look into yourself and figure out what it is you want to do. Because things are not going to be handed to you. I had to grow up and realize this world can swallow you whole if only I let it. Being terrified of the world was something I overcame but it took patience. Life is full of possibilities but also many ways to be either good or evil. It comes down to decisions, you decide what is best for you at the end of the day, your decisions have an equal and opposite reaction to them, that's why it is important to train your mind, heart, body, & soul. The mind is a powerful tool for either good or evil. It's up to you to decide what you want and how you want to go about it.
