Episode #5: Is it really your life? Then why are you living it for others?

Let's be honest here, can  we B-Real with ourselves? Are you living your life for you or for your IG feed and your parents? Honestly, growing up in a pretty traditional Indian home, I was always thought to be the next doctor or attorney. I was great at arguing and bossing people around, so naturally, people thought brown kid, attorney. Or maybe, I would follow my dad and my uncles and become a doctor. I mean, my cousins were on that path and at every dinner I grew up we talked health and medicine. Why not go in to that field? 

Well, I loved talking. I loved people. I loved problem solving even from a young age. I didn't know that I would grow up to be rebel in the eyes of the brown folk, but, guess I was wrong and a rebel I am. 

I ask you this question: Whose in charge of your life? Are you responsible to make other people happy or to make yourself happy? If you do what others want and end up miserable at 50, was that a responsible choice? What example do you set for your kids?
