Start Changing Your Life Path- Christen Kuikoua

The most efficient way to change your life
 is by changing your life, 
rearrange your life, 
architect your existence, 
it is as simple as this, 
Think about a seed
 If you plant a seed, 
 and it doesn't grow
 no matter how much 
you try to toil, 
You mustn't blame the seed
 Because the fault lies with the soil 
which is the foundation, 
it is the same as if you build the house 
on a weak foundation, it will collapse and perish

The topic of life after death isn't what I'm here for
But that of life before death, 
From birth to death
Your life existence 
Is the total sum 
Of every choice you ever had to make
Science estimate that the average person 
Makes about 35000 choices per day 
But unfortunately, I don't believe so
Because if people made 
That many conscious choices every day.
 that means their lives will be different
But sadly, most people are so asleep 
With their heads down. 
They're moving so fast that they don't see 
Their choices are made on their behalf

Let me be clear 
The number one predictor of how long you will live is 
first your blood pressure, 
Followed by exercise, then genes 
With another, which is none of those
Because the real truth is, 
How you will live is determined by
 your zip code, because your opportunities 
Determines your possibilities, not your genes. 
Your map determines what you get to see 
Because life is not like a box of matches
 but it was more like a restaurant  
And choices are quite limited to what's on the menu? 

What am I trying to say? 

I'm saying this, 
If you want to consume the real food of life, 
Then you must have the courage 
To order off the menu, let me spell it out for you
Move, travel, explore, create, change
Change your environment 
Escape the menu your comfort zone
I know it is challenging. No one said it would be easy.
But sometimes, we must cut a finger to save the arm
Sometimes you have to cut friends and family
And believe me, it will be an emotional rollercoaster 
But to survive, you must hang with people
With a common future like you 
You must change your I will to I have
Yeah, not just a common past, 
 don't worry about your mistakes, as they say
Sometimes you do win 
And other times you lose, but do learn
This I can't confirm second chances do exist 
But I can confirm that the changed you 
Need to make an alternative choice
Decide on a fresh path
And when your time comes, 
I pray that at the mid-end of your B & D, 
Your Line Is Not just a dash, but a squiggle
