Today, I don’t know what I really want. I don’t mean with just what I want from the next week, maybe even month, but from life altogether. Part of me wants to create incredible wealth and be able to buy anything and everything at any given moment. And then, part of me wants the complete opposite- travelling the world with only the money I made from odd jobs along the way. I want to start a family, yet lack the desire for stability.

Why am I like this? Am I alone in this thinking?

I think everyone secretly wants everything- even the most content of people. Whether it’s greed or curiosity (or a bit of both), most people want everything they can get from life.

Is this what you want, or what other people want? When you’re told as a child to live your life the way you want to live it, you’re not really told how to. Usually, what you really want is against the conventional way of doing things, against a current that is sweeping most of modern humanity. Will you fight the current, or let it sweep you too?

So, even today, ask yourself what YOU really want, what younger you wanted and what older you will want the answer to those questions to be.

Because what is life, if not our story by the end of it?
