Don't Blame the System!

I've known people, heard of stories where people give up on their dreams. It's not their fault. They think that's what they 'have to do'. That it is good to sacrifice your happiness for others. 

Give up their dreams, their fun, their ideal life and tell others to do the same, because that is normal. It is normal, especially for women, to stop going after their dreams, their life, for men, for families. 

'We have to!', 'These are our responsibilities' , 'We have no choice'

But you do! Nobody can ever, legally, physically, mentally, make you do anything. Think about it! What if you die tomorrow? Do you want to please people or be happy with the life you led?

Your ideal life is waiting for you, if you wake up and take it. I'm not saying to tell your loved ones to go to hell, but when you do what you need for yourself, what you want for yourself, people will fall in line. Assert yourself. Don't blame the system. 

Change the system. Why be stuck in the rut? Why follow a career you don't want to, why say things you don't want to, why sacrifice on what you need ? Systems are only systems until you stand up and change them.
