Lesson 30: If you are not happy...
Today is all about self-reflection. If you aren’t happy in your life, why are you living it that way? Life is definitely a rollercoaster and it’s never meant to be easy. I believe the best times come out of the unexpected, because even though you may be thrown curve balls, it’s how you can triumph over it that makes you a stronger person. We should lose fear and really go with what life gives us.
I used to be quite unhappy but with some good dose of self-awareness, I was able to come to the conclusion, that only I have the power to change my life. Anyone can bounce back from the shittest of circumstances if you are willing to open yourself up for healing as well as learn the lesson being taught. I think I’m definitely a changed person from the most traumatic events of my life. I am opening up to how I can rise above my own personal circumstances and it doesn’t really seem so hard anymore. I used to be such a stress head that I would get to the point of feeling like I was going to vomit. I just don’t live that way anymore.
You’re probably wondering how did I achieve this? Well, it’s a lot of trust in something much larger than myself – that being the universe. If I can still live after the lowest and darkest point in my life, then I can do anything really. The only limit anyone has is themselves. It’s why I am trying to remember what I liked or wanted to do as a child and trying to implement them now as an adult. It’s never too late to achieve your dreams and goals. I also take pride in appreciating the simple things. Sometimes we are so blinded by a negative stint that we don’t stop and really have gratitude for the goodness in our lives. For example, I live in Australia – it’s one of the safest countries in the world, I have a roof over my head, I have a stable income, I have built a good support network, I can put food on the table. Simple things we sometimes take for granted when others are suffering more than we are.
I don’t worry about the future so much. I know what goals I have and I know what I have to do to achieve them. Obviously if I slack off then that’s my own fault. I don’t fear what’s coming. I don’t think anyone should. We all have bad cycles and good cycles. We just need to take the time to learn the lesson even if we don’t want to see it at the time. I’m surrounded by good energy and therefore if I maintain a positive outlook, no matter what the circumstance, I will lead a very enriched life. You build your own pathway. No one else builds your life for you. So what’s the worst that can happen by taking a chance?
