''The unexamined life is not worth living''- Socrates. 


 Socrates gave us the quote and idea of ''The unexamined life is not worth living'' in his trial for heresy. The man wanted his philosphical students to think for themselves and not just believe what was accepted at the time.
In a sense, we can relate this to mordern day ideologies. As a teenager in the prime of my discovery with all the generic questions floating around of 'who am i?' 'what am striving for?' there's some insight in taking a moment to ponder. It's extremely important to know yourself and not get stuck in the rutt  of defining yourself  by a  routine, a job, a problem. No, you aren't just a school girl, a lawyer, a victim of depression. Who.are.you.
It seems as teenagers we can get easily stuck in a funk of caring about things that do not matter.
Take control of your life and know where you are going. This does not neccassariily mean in terms of career, although you can link your destination and passions towards this.
