The you that never was

By Fadaka O' Adetu

When growing up, sometimes you find yourself in an unbalance situation due to your conscious or unconscious choices. Life can then now become unbearable and hard to live. In a twinkle of an eye, different emotions such as bitterness, frustration, anger and regrets will all crop in attempting to crush you even without realising it. These emotions can affect your self-esteem and your level of confidence both in yourself and people around you. You need to understand that most of the times ‘life is actually what you make of it and not necessarily what has happened to you’. Whatever you are now are as a result of the choices you made in the past, you now have the opportunity to change this narrative for your future. Bad life choices happens due to certain factors such as 

• Peer influence 
• Corrupted values
• Lack of adequate information
• Bad counselling
• The 21^st century social media dilemma

To change the narrative of your future for good, making wise choices is important. These are some of the things that can help you to make choices that will drive your life in the direction that will be fulfilling

• Do not rush into making life decisions
• Always engage yourself in personal reflection to clarify what you truly need and of top priority to you
• Seek guidance 
• Emulate right values that will help you make good decisions
