Resistance
is the first defense. We don’t want to believe or accept the change. Here are
the 5 possible reasons why your life is currently sour, and not as exciting as
you’d like it to be. By understanding these 5 suggestions, a new chapter in life
will open up to you starting today:
Most importantly every
life is different, so make your own cheat codes and crack down the puzzles one
by one. For me, a life which is a roller coaster is very exciting every
passing day because I hardly surrender to failures, indeed awaits for one. Tell
me how can someone let go of this beautiful disparity, when life gives you a
lemon make lemonade of it.
1. You’ve been working tirelessly trying to
control the uncontrollable. What if, instead of pushing so hard to make life
happen, you decided to let go a little and allow life to happen to you? What if,
instead of trying to always be in control, you sometimes surrendered control to
something bigger than yourself? What if, instead of working so hard to figure
out every last answer, you allowed yourself to be guided to the solution in
perfect timing?
2. The past never changes. You can spend hours, days, weeks,
months, or even years sitting alone in a dark room, over-analyzing a situation
from the past, trying to put the pieces together, and justifying what could’ve
or should’ve happened. Or you can just leave the pieces in the dark and walk out
the front door into the sunlight to get some fresh air.
3. Holding on to pain is
self-abuse. Your past has given you the strength and wisdom you have today, so
celebrate it. Don’t let it haunt you. Replaying a painful memory over and over
in your head is a form of self-abuse. Toxic thoughts create a toxic life. Make
peace with yourself and your past. When you heal your thoughts, you heal the
health of your happiness. So stop focusing on old problems and things you don’t
want in your future. The more you think about them, the more you attract what
you fear into your everyday experiences you become your own worst enemy.
4.
Moving on creates positive change. You may blame everyone else and think,
“Poor me! Why do all these crappy things keep happening to me?” But the only
thing those scenarios all have in common is YOU. And this is good news because
it means YOU alone have the power to change things or change the way you think
about things. There is something very powerful and liberating about surrendering
to change and embracing it this is where personal growth and evolution reside.
5. New opportunities are out there waiting for you. Nobody gets through life
without losing someone they love, something they need, or something they thought
was meant to be. But it is these losses that make us stronger and eventually
move us toward future opportunities.
Embrace these opportunities. Enter new
relationships and new situations, knowing that you are venturing into unfamiliar
territory. Be ready to learn, be ready for a challenge, and be ready to
experience something or meet someone that just might change your life forever.
And of course, if you’re struggling with any of these points, know that you are
not alone.
Many of us are right there with you, working hard to start our new chapter in life. So persevere through these times, and you’ll soon find it all being well worth the journey. What helps me maintain an optimistic attitude and cope when things go wrong? Three very important ideas:
1. Life happens for you, not to you.
2. This too shall pass.
3. Be with what is.
