Embrace a fundamental tenet of Real Satanism: You are in control of your life!
The responsibility for making choices that shape your existence rests solely with you, and no one else. Therefore, always prioritize what serves your best interests, even when it diverges from the opinions of others. People may freely offer their advice and perspectives, but they cannot assume the role of living your life on your behalf. While they may speak their minds, ultimately, you are the one who must navigate your life's path. So, don't make decisions just to please others, as they have no real power over your destiny.
When you recognize that your life is your own, and that everyone else has their own unique journey, you'll be better equipped to make the right decisions for yourself. It's essential to understand that it's not sufficient for others to find happiness if you're not happy as well. Avoid sacrificing your own desires or doing things you don't truly want just to fulfill someone else's expectations, as this will ultimately leave you dissatisfied.
Sometimes, it's more preferable to wake up with regrets than to go to sleep with unfulfilled dreams. Take control and assume responsibility for your life. Focus on actions that genuinely bring you joy, and you'll be taking a significant step towards genuine happiness. Don't permit anyone else to dictate the course of your life – you are the one in charge!
“...nothing and no one is more important than ourselves. We must not deny ourselves any pleasure, any experience or any satisfaction by apologizing for morals, religion or social conventions.” ― Marquis de Sade
