Do as you please as often as you can

Recently, I was caught in a lie. How recently? About a few minutes ago. I don't know how I ended up in this place (the lie, that is, because the other place, Kana, I have a pretty sure idea of how I got there). This made me realize something: I may have hurt someone I care for and when confronted by this possibility I mechanically jumped to make sense of the pain. I feel awful. But it’s a feeling that is normal and negative feelings, for some strange genetically designed reason, don’t have a home for long in me. They do, however, make me think as to what actions I might take in order to avoid feeling this way again.
At work, we often find ourselves in lethargic states. We are told what to do or deal with individuals who don’t do as told or are constantly striving to excel while yearning for a time of leisure. Let’s face it: life is hard as it is. At times, we engage into situations we didn’t want any part of, treat ourselves like our worst enemies, and so on. It is true: to an extend, we depend on others. But when we do have time for ourselves, or when we do have a saying into the next course and action, then that should be the case. People will try to persuade you into doing their bids, manipulate you into taking a different venue, but you have the last word. So, say it! Be bold and take the honorable way out. If an inescapable circumstance comes across, like not feeling up to do what you want in certain situation, then suffer it calmly. But once that it’s over, don’t take work home. Do as you please as often as you can. Be who you are inside. And make sure that those around you get a piece of your mind. But be sensitive on your approach. Don’t burn more houses than necessary. Now, go.
