Live Your Life For You

Inspired by characters in a show and many people I've known. Live your life for you. We can't suppress our dreams and aspirations for others, no matter how well-meaning the intentions. Live your life for you By Michelle Morris 08/07/2023 Have you done it? Lived your life for someone else? Or for a whole family? Friends or teammates or mentors? Whatever we commit to It's great to give our best But we need to be mindful of ourselves And if we're suppressing our own quests Don't forget about your dreams Don't forget what's in your heart No one can give back the time you lose If you put things on autopilot Live your life for you Because you only have one life to live And if you realise your dreams too late You could be way too far off course Take time to find what you're looking for Take time to know your inner soul Because when you look back at it Your life's purpose needs to be your goal © Michelle Morris, 2023
