Many people fashion their life according to what they perceive others think they should be. This is the opposite of achieving the Authentic Happiness most people are striving to find. Who Are You Really? How on Earth can you possibility come to know Who You Are when everything you do is about what other people think of you? No wonder many people feel that they are lost. This lose often leads to unhappiness, to depression and on to some form of illness. Some people choose major which parent like or job which is popular in society. Do you really like it?

No,i am sure i am not one of this kind. It is all about hypocrisy. Why should i live for other's sake? It's hard to live with fake and everything in pretend. Let the society judge me for who i am,but,i won't let my life affected by the other's outlook. Many people tried to live according to what's IN and what's the latest fashion,and ended up losing their own identity and even their own life. One day they wake up that they are lost...becoz,they themselves never knew who are they anymore...and where they really came from. Becoz,they're used to lived from what is acceptable in the eyes of the people around them,and not,what is life according to them selves.

Hi, you are independent, that's good, many people want to live their own way and deal with everything by their style. No matter what our lifestyle is, we want to feel happy. Have a nice day!

In life it's best to have your own way and not taking so much in serious what other people say. Of course, we all live in a society and we must respect closely the rules of this human group. However we must keep our identity, our unique pattern and try to life our life as we want it.

sometimes, we have to do things not because we want it but because it is the right way to be done. my husband don't want to go abroad for work, but that is what we need to provide a good future for the family. if he will stay here in the Philippines and do odd jobs, then we cannot live the life we want to have in the future and we cannot provide the needs of our children. as you see, our country is not too blessed with good financial stability, that is why many Filipinos go abroad for the better liffe they want to give for the family.
