loosen up solider


You have no idea what you're doing, yet you make all these crucial decisions 
every day. It's like driving at night with the headlights off and you have to keep going full-speed because that's how life is. You try to think through every possible action 
and outcome, like which college to pick? And which job to go for? Or asking yourself, 
should you really buy that pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream tonight? 

The "best decision" may actually be the worst one. Like driving down a road you thought you knew and you think you're supposed to turn left at the next stoplight but what you don't know, is that you missed the stoplight five miles back 
and there's no way to turn around for a good while. 

Our perspectives are so narrow that there's no possible way any one of us could consciously make the right decision about anything, yet we still try. 
You can choose what you do but you can't choose how that ultimately 
affects your life and that's the part that's terrifying.


So here's a tip : 

Stop trying so hard to make everything work out perfectly. Just live your life. Each and every one of us has a sense of what we should and should not do. Loosen your death-grip on the steering wheel and just enjoy the thrill of the road we call "life" brings.
