All my bad memories are gone. But why…. why can’t I become happy? Then the witch took his soul as they had promised and told him this..."Hurtful, painful memories, Memories of deep regrets, memories of hurting others and being hurt, memories of being abandoned only those with such memories buried in their hearts only those with such memories in their head can become stronger, more passionate and emotionally flexible, and only those can attain happiness”. Remember it all and overcome it, if you don’t overcome it, you'll always be a kid whose soul never grows. - [excerpt from : It's ok to not be ok]
As Sadhguru once said…‘’When something bad happens to us, when something hurts us… we can either become wise or wounded. This is the choice we have. Life is just a certain amount of time, its ticking away. As you sit here now you are 1 hour closer to the grave since you came here.Yes it is! It’s going away for all of us. So in this where is the time to carry every experience like a wound”.
First things First! Stop trying to be like someone else if you are meant to be them, you would’ve been born here as them. But you’ve been given your life, your character, your skills, your talent your personality for a reason…you’re unique… be who you are…stay true to yourself and if you feel you don’t fit in its cause you’re meant to stand out. Stop worrying about what others are thinking about you, worry about what you're thinking about yourself eventually only that matters,because people come and go but you are the one who is going to stay with you forever.
Get rid of misconceptions and start hanging out all by yourself. Don’t focus on the things you were been fed, over the things told by everybody else...For instance, Dining out at a restaurant or going to the movies alone is completely normal. If it’s something that everyone prefer doesn’t mean that it is something that should be done! Understand and follow your instincts. Never let anyone force you to do things you dont want to. Take control of your life by allowing yourself to have a final say in what you want to do. Dont be scared of change. As we grow, we see things in a different perspective… we understand them far better than we did and it’s the nature of life. Grow in what you believe, grow for yourself, grow to understand better.
I always believe that the value of money can be understood by the person who can differentiate peace and pleasure, there is nothing more agitating to your mind than extreme pleasure. Think of a person who lost his mom as he couldn’t afford hospital charges, a person living with his family in a hut during stormy weather, a person who knows the value of every single grain, a person striving hard for the entire month to pay his EMI, Eventually for them money is the main source of peace, this might not sound fair but it is what it is. So always remember that Happiness is peace, it’s not pleasure.
There is a lot of hate in this world, lot of them may try to hurt you or pull you down, you might even feel weak but on the other hand always remember, there is Love. Our strength doesn’t lie in having a cold heart, protecting ourselves as a shield from our emotions, but the strength comes from being soft and brave enough to welcome things with open hands, courageous enough to try and accept the consequence.When you finally learn that a person’s behavior has more to do with their own internal struggle than it ever did with you, you learn grace.
Remember that you are exactly where you need to be, experiencing what you need to experience, so that you could learn in order to become the person that you need to become and to create everything that you want in your life. The truth is, healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed…it means the damage no longer controls you, so you don't have another generation of trauma passing itself off as a culture. All emotions are healthy, getting stuck within them is not because acceptance is everything.
No one ever looked at the stars and wished they were gone. No one ever asks the ocean why it stayed so long.No one wishes the moon away. They don’t ask for it to disappear. No one is unkind to the sun we know that it’s needed here. No one ever questioned the existence of these things. We accept that they are exactly what they are meant to be. Don’t question your existence because you are everything. Please accept that you are exactly what you are meant to be. - As quoted by Whitneyhanson.
Accept yourself, love yourself and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.
To sum it up, You become the best version of yourself when you know the value of self-love!
Let the hope in you hold you. Count your blessings and breathe..
Always remember that “You are your home”,
Lots of love 💟
