You can’t control everything.
Sometimes you
just need to relax and have faith that things will work out.
Let go a little
and just let life happen.
Because sometimes the truths you can’t change, end up
changing you and helping you grow.
Here are twelve such truths… via
Everything is as it should be. It’s crazy how you always
end up where you’re meant to be – how even the most tragic and stressful
situations eventually teach
you important lessons that you never dreamed you were going to learn.
Remember, often times when things are falling apart, they are actually falling
into place.
Not until you are lost in this world can you begin to find your true
self. Realizing you are lost is the first step to living the life you
want. The second step is leaving the life you don’t want. Making a big life
change is pretty scary. But you know what’s even scarier? Regret. Vision
without action is a daydream, and action without vision is a nightmare. Your
heart is free, have the courage to follow it.
It’s usually the deepest pain which empowers you to grow to your
full potential. It’s the scary, stressful choices that end up
being the most worthwhile. Without pain, there would
be no change. But remember, pain, just like everything in life, is meant to be
learned from and then released.
One of the hardest decisions you will ever face in life is choosing
whether to walk away or take another step forward. If you catch
yourself in a cycle of trying to change someone, or defending yourself again
someone who is trying to change you, walk away. But if you are pursuing a
dream, take another step. And don’t forget that sometimes this step will
involve modifying your dream, or planning a new one – it’s OK to change your
mind or have more than one dream.
You have to take care of yourself first. Before
befriending others, you have to be your own friend. Before correcting others,
you have to correct yourself. Before making others happy, you have to make
yourself happy. It’s not called selfishness, it’s called personal development.
Once you balance yourself, only then can you balance the world around you.
One of the greatest freedoms is truly not caring what everyone else
thinks of you. As long as you are worried about what others think of
you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside
yourself, can you own yourself.
You may need to be single for awhile before you realize
that, although the co-owned belongings from your failed relationships might not
have been divided equally, the issues that destroyed the relationships likely
were. For how can you stand confidently alone, or see the same issues arising
in your newest relationship, and not realize which broken pieces belong to you?
Owning your issues, and dealing with them, will make you far happier in the long
run, than owning anything else in this world.
The only thing you can absolutely control is how you react to things
out of your control. The more you can adapt to the situations in life,
the more powerful your highs will be, and the more quickly you’ll be able to bounce
back from the lows in your life. Put most simply: being at peace means
being in a state of complete acceptance of all that is, right here, right
now.
Some people will lie to you. Remember, an honest enemy is
better than a friend who lies. Pay less attention to what people say, and more
attention to what they do. Their actions will show you the truth, which will
help you measure the true quality of your relationship in the long-term.
If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never have
enough. If you are thankful for what you do have, you will end up
having even more. Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold;
happiness dwells in the soul. Abundance is not about how much you have, it’s
how you feel about what you have. When you take things for granted, your
happiness gets taken away.
Yes, you have failed in the past. But don’t judge yourself
by your past, you don’t live there anymore. Just because you’re not where you
want to be today doesn’t mean you won’t be there someday. You can turn it all
around in the blink of an eye by making a simple choice to stand back up – to
try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again.
Everything is going to be alright; maybe not today, but
eventually. There will be times when it seems like everything that
could possibly go wrong is going wrong. And you might feel like you will be
stuck in this rut forever, but you won’t. Sure the sun stops shining sometimes,
and you may get a huge thunderstorm or two, but eventually the sun will come out
to shine. Sometimes it’s just a matter of us staying
as positive as possible in order to make it to see the sunshine break
through the clouds again.
