Over the past few week, I have done a lot of thinking. I believe that I now have a better understanding about life. Through this new understanding and realization I have been able to appreciate and love my life in more ways than I have been able to in the past.
The problem lies on the outlook I have on life which I am currently working on changing. I have always had a strong opinion on how people present themselves, how they react in certain situations and the choices that they make in life. For a long time now, I have expected others to make the same choices I would make. That is because it is what makes sense to me. The decisions I make are based on the experiences I have had in this life. I have come to the realization, that everyone has a different experience in life. Which means that each person is unique and will have their own way of dealing with certain situations. Which means that everyone will have a different way with dealing with stuff in their life and that this is something which should be expected. Now that I have accepted this as fact, it will be a lot easier for me to deal with many different situations that arise with the people in my life. I will now be conscious about their different life experiences, and try to understand the choices they make, rather than be ignorant and criticize them.
I believe that this is key to understanding more about life itself. Lately I have been wondering what should I live my life for? Why should I continue trying when nothing turns out the way I want it to be? The answer to the first question is simple, we only have one life, just live for the moment and see where life takes you. The second question is the one that puzzled me the most. Why is life so complicated? Should it not be simple and wonderful? I have tried living my life in different ways but they backfired on me. So why would I want to try again knowing that it will not turn out the way I imagined it in my head? This is when I realized that there are variables that come into play.
You cannot expect life to go exactly as planned because the surroundings around you are constantly changing. This is another fact that I have learned to accept. Unless you plan on being by yourself your entire life and having no human interaction, your life will never go exactly as planned. People that I care for all have different goals, ambitions as well as different experiences in life which make them unique. I cannot predict how they will grow and change over time. All I can do is appreciate what I have in my life right now and try to work with it from here. My life will change, my friends and family's lives will change. This is a fact. I just have to be ready for it.
Before these past few weeks, I thought otherwise and was ignorant to the world around me. Which lead to all my emotions of anger, doubt and worry. With this new understanding about life I am able to move further with my life without having to hold back. I will have more realistic expectations about my life. Also I ll have more reasonable expectations for everyone around me. All I can do is learn to love and appreciate my life more and more each day. The truth is life is a gift, we only have one life and the way to make the best of it is to go by your gut feeling, and do not let changes in your life affect you in a negative way. You just need to find a way to work with it and work on something new. It will change your outlook on your life instantly.
In conclusion, the key to a better understanding of the life that surrounds you is simple. Keep an open mind, stay positive, do not try to predict the future and just be thankful for what you have, try to improve what you have in your life. Also, you cannot be afraid of change in your life. It happens to all of us. See your changes in life as an opportunity for growth. With all this in mind, I can now go about life in a better direction!
