When can people be truly happy with their lives? When we give free rein to things that are not meant for us!
Our lives may be full of worries, challenges, twists and turns, but that doesn't mean we can't be really happy.
Life, the people in it, can disappoint us many times. We fail to seize the opportunities we dream of, we fail to integrate into an environment that seems ideal to us, loved ones leave us... This is too soon a reason for depression, for losing faith in life. We can try to get up, but we always fall again. Until the moment we stop!
If life doesn't give us and doesn't give us the things for which we strive long and hard, then to us these things were never meant to be. Maybe we deserve better! Maybe it's time to let life take its own course. It won't be easy at first, but if we lower our expectations a bit and accept reality and disappointments, we will soon be able to see the fruits of our transformation.
Of course we will be broken here and there and may have to accept really big and hard decisions, such as leaving a job that makes us unhappy, leaving a partner because he emotionally abuses us... We will have to break the cycle that caused us to suffer and that caused us to land at the bottom. It's hard to get up, but it will work!
At this difficult turning point, we must cut toxic people out of our lives and start over to follow what we truly love, rather than following the standards of social performance. Slowly but surely, we must open ourselves to the things that life has to offer without forcing ourselves.
Sometimes when we try to let things happen in their natural course, we the universe shows the best way. Most of the time we are obsessed with getting things that we once thought were ideal and good for us, when in fact they were bad for us.
Forcing ourselves into things that were never meant for us will only harm us, hurt us. We have to believe that every loss will lead to new things that will be better for us. And this, without question, also applies to those who one day left us behind, because those who REALLY LOVE us stay with us forever without us having to ask them to.
At the end of the day, we must remember that what was meant for us will NEVER bypass us or leave us!
