Don't follow your desire. instead follow something that is right, authentic and that has value
If you look and research about how human beings behave and take actions in the world, most people follow their desires and make decisions based on what they want. But in my personal experience, if you follow your desire, that might be a dead-end route just before the cliff. You might keep moving without knowing that is the end of the route for your life. This is the reason why I am always thinking and asking for myself. "What is the right thing? What value can it generate for the most people in the world? Is this truly authentic? These questions shape my behaviors and make me to decide based on those questions. I am not a perfect person but tried to be, am trying to be the perfect person, who can make good decisions. Most of the time, I do not regret and do not look backward at what I have done in life. Because, every time when I made decisions, I always asked for myself and tried to be closer to a right, authentic, and valuable decisions for myself. The past time is fixed things that no one can not change and modify as you want. Only the present and future can be shaped and built by your will, ideas and your talent. I am not looking at backward. I am looking at forward direction to make a changes that is something meaningful, impactable and valuable.
