Things we want and things we were made to want

    The older I get the more I realize I do things that were not borne by me but were somehow forced to me; or were conceptualized to me

    These are things that were forced to me with intention or not; Sometimes I think I want these things or I have no opinion and subside and play along

    Sometimes I find myself being involved in new operations which I had never thought I wanted e.g. a new business endeavor. Ok - this might be fruitful

    Other times, I find myself travelling to places or paying visits which I had not chosen just to satisfy my friends and family. Despite my wanting to visit other places; I don’t seem to follow my desires but rather follow the wish of others. Who wants to see an old aunt whom had never seen more than three times in his life just to satisfy a parent?

    I find myself trying to be a good friend and giving way to them.. who has never said “ok I will come by your place and help you do the housecleaning”..

    The thing is, that it is a very fine line between the things we actually want and the things we were made to desire. Most of the times I can’t separate which is which. Do I want to buy an item or is it just fashion and I am a marketing victim? Do I want to watch this movie? Do I want to do this job?

    Do you find yourself doing things you hadn’t planned or wanted?

    Is there merit to us in doing things we had not planned or wanted?

    What’s the best way to live your life? Satisfying others or just do what makes you happy?

    And what happens to the things we really want?
