YES. It is undeniably so important to make your own decisions because if you live your life as a follower or someone who is whisked away with the choices of someone else's life, it will not be a satisfying life that you live. You will never discover your own path, desires, or goals. You will be stuck on a path that leads you on and on in a monotonous trail that will never get you to where you want. It is pointless to live your life just doing what everyone want you to do or what they tell you to do. The only way to find your true self is to make your own choices in your life.
