Life is full of surprises, be it positive or negative those surprises make a sudden change in your personalities .life could be exciting and lovely for some, wonderful for others and for most of the people it would seem as a highly puzzled game. Unexpected moments occur the most when you stop expecting anything from anyone. when you stop expecting anything from anyone you finally work for yourself without being dependent on anyone and live your life according to your own morals and choices.
when you start thinking and acting according to the people around you, thou become a mere lifeless doll that does not have any control over yourself.
So, if you want to attain happiness and satisfaction, you should live according to your own but also keep in mind that your comfort does not destroy someone else's peace. and yes it is important to clarify that you actually have a source to live and earn your bread and butter.
Making your passion into the medium through which you can survive would be great.
I have to deeply implement the same so that's all for now.
