“If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.”
The amount of energy it takes to react to every thing that happens to you not only drains you but also stops you from seeing the good in your life.
I will never be able to persuade everyone to like me and as difficult as it may be, it is okay. It feels normal to want to react to things that do not feel right. Do you ever feel like this or am I the only one?
Not reacting to something never means that I am okay with it. Choosing to take it as a lesson and learn from it, is worth far more than spending all my time trying to figure it all out. Choosing my peace of mind is what I truly need. Reacting to things that upset you only gives someone else the power over your emotions. We can never control what others do but we can control how we respond to it. Disappointments are there to help us learn how to love ourselves well.
Reacting to the bad will not change anything. Therefore, let the things that burden you go.
So often I have wanted to fight my case. I have always felt the need to make people understand who I am and where I am coming from. This ended up making me tired and emotional and I could no longer keep up with it all. I have slowly learnt that life is so much better lived when I do not centre it on what is happening around me but centre it on what is happening inside of me. Working on myself and finding my inner peace is what has helped me come to the realisation that not reacting to every little thing that bothers me, is one of the many important ingredients to living a happy and healthy life.
I am gaining a new perspective on how I want to live my life. I love learning and growing and bettering myself and if that means gaining clarity on who I want in my life and how I want to live it, then learning about myself is totally worth it.
Every moment that is given to us is a chance to let go and be peaceful. Imagine your life ten years from now… then twenty. Will the moments that worry you now mean anything in the grand scheme of things?
