True that George Bernard! I had, like most, always assumed that life was in fact about finding yourself. I mean, that's what we are always told, or in the very least, led to believe. How depressing to think that who you are is already set out for you! The first time I read this quote it was like the gears inside me shifted a little and something finally clicked; a light came on! I am a fully functioning human being! I make the decisions that affect my life, and the same is true for you. If there is something in your life that makes you unhappy, it is up to you to fix that. Don't wait around for life to work itself out. Be proactive about your life! It's YOUR life. THAT is how you find true happiness. And sure, it can be scary as hell sometimes, but that is what living feels like!

The decisions you make every day, even the little ones like "Am I going to eat this banana?", they make up who you are. Everything you do, everything you say...influences what you are. Next time you have a decision to make, ask yourself not, "Is this who I am?", but, "Is this who I want to be?".

It's a conscious decision you make, and if there is something in your life that you are not happy with, it is up to you to change it. Time for the overused quote:

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -Mahatma Gandhi
