I've come a long way :)
Today's post is a little bit like yesterday's. Because it is about the changes I have experienced over the last while.. I've given life a closer look (I know I am talking as if I am 50 and all wise) but really, I have learned one thing about myself that I should have learned years ago.
You can only truly be happy if you're happy with yourself. If you're the kind of person I used to be, always complaining about life... I know how you function. Truth be told, if a person believes that life is terrible, they will constantly dig for such evidence in their life, to confirm their view. They will find quotes and situations and events that magnify them a hundred times. And sadly, I used to be one of those people.
But now, to the wonderful change I have grown accustomed to.. I am loving it. Now, I am being the person who believes life is beautiful. And likewise, I look for reasons and evidence why it is. In fact, I don't even have to look. The reasons are always right in front of you. You just have to learn something about selection theory. You only focus on the 'positive' and wash out the 'negative.' Ignore it. It's not even there. There are worse situations that people are in. Your biggest problem should not be how you couldn't score an A in your course even though you worked hard, or how terrible your life is when you're single and constantly dating assholes.
I got a little worked up last week due to some work stuff. Okay, let's say.. not a little.. a LOT. But now I realize, I've got many other things to look forward to in my day other than just stress. Things that make me happy. Things that are positive. Why boil your blood over stupid stuff that happens in everyday life? It will continue to happen. You just have your cool and let things slide. And wow, still cannot believe that I am the one saying all this. But yeah, just take it easy =)
