Accepting reality leads to change like denial never can.
Begin by accepting your current reality. Your situation is what it is. No amount of wishing for something different or rejecting the situation or yourself will change anything. However, by facing your problem, you can at least begin to address it.
Everything is energy. What we send out to the world is what we receive back. If you focus on happiness, joy, and satisfaction, you’ll experience more of that. If you focus on pain, regret, and guilt, you’ll experience more of that. As they always say, its the law of attraction.
You cannot reject or push against the unwanted. Shift your focus. Don’t argue with your thoughts and feelings. Don’t try to push them away. GIVE THE PERMISSION TO EXIST.
No one ever healed from a blow to the head by hitting themselves there again.
Letting go can easily trigger fear. When you leave something behind and don’t know what to replace it with, you leave space for the unknown. Change is always scary, especially when you don’t know what’s coming next. That’s why you might find yourself clinging to the unwanted because that’s what's familiar and known to you.
It’s frustrating to replay mistakes over and over in your mind. It’s frustrating when you try really hard, but are unable to move on. Not only does that taint your future, it also steals the joy from this present moment. Focus on what you desire.a
Accepting what is and letting go of what you cannot control sound simple, right?
Then why aren’t we happy?
Because what looks easy is often difficult to apply in real life. We want happiness to fill a void in our lives, but we don’t want the struggle and difficulties that go with it. STAY IN YOUR LANE. You have no business poking around in matters outside your control because life is bigger than you.
Falling in love is a magical feeling. Making mistake is better than faking perfections. Many people don’t learn this lesson all their lives, like those stuck in unpleasant circumstances they hate. Until they learn this lesson, they will keep being stuck. OBSERVE EVERYTHING WITHOUT JUDGEMENT.
Wherever you are and whatever you experience, try to be at peace with it. If it’s hard to think positively about your situation, at least don’t focus on the negatives, and instead focus on something you’d like to experience.
Happiness is something you can’t instagram. Everyone has their shit that they'd rather not have in their lives. We all have a struggle and story to tell, but it doesn't have to take over everything.
In a world full of things we can't possibly control, the one thing you can control is your attitude.
You can look at the bad in your life as a reason to wallow, or a push to move forward and be great. How you see the world is completely up to you.
THE CHOICE IS REALLY YOURS. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
