See it for yourself

You should approach life with caution, but at the same time playing it safe makes you blind to so many opportunities and the real purpose of living. The journey that we all set on , can only be properly enjoyed when guided by your own choices. Living life according to the way you want it to be rather then what others want for you is important. You will always encounter problems along the way, some fear those problems and want to avoid it. Everything that occurs in life is A learning experience that shapes you and shows the beauty within yourself. It helps you grow. Avoiding problems would make more sense and listening to those who think they have the answers may seem smart  but they themselves are still as lost as you are. Everyone is on the same page regardless of the amount of money, or career, or anything else that many may think define them or think has made their life complete. There are countless of guides to happiness, and multiple theories. That's great to use sometimes to better yourself and avoid certain bad characteristics , karma, ect. It's all lovely but no man should live according to a book made by another man. You have free will for a reason why give it away just because of fear ? Your journey is not supposed to be perfect , but when you keep moving , aging and actually reflect on all the events that have occurred in your life you find a certain beauty. The beauty is not only in accomplishments, but failure. I've noticed there's no beauty in structure. Structure, and order lacks beauty compared to a a forest filled with different colors. The forest that's filled with colors that represent happiness, and sadness. Dead plants, blooming flowers, full grown flowers, mud, beautiful streams, cut down trees, huge trees. I'm just attempting to give a detailed visualization of this forest that's filled with misery and bliss at the same time but is still a masterpiece of art when you look at it from a far. It tells a wonderful story. The story is based off of experience. The forest was created by your personal experiences that in the end is filled with so much color and beauty. You should seek everything for yourself. Don't completely remove theoretical knowledge, but remember that sensual experience is required in this life that we live. Reason cannot always guide you to happiness. Have a balance of both. I just feel a lot have forgotten that. The answer was always better received when foound not given.
