Embrace the Imperfections: Why Life Isn’t a One-Way Path
Learning lessons from every experience is not something 90% of us human beings do and that’s completely fine
We are not built to be indifferent or say it doesn’t matter because it absolutely does!
You know that time that you are mad at your parent/sibling for something that you did wrong and you get upset about it just because you cannot accept your mistake?
Or wanting a particular grade that you totally didn’t work for at all?
Yeah, I do realize that learning lessons from your mistakes can be terrifying ,it was for me too and still continues to be so.
The important point i want to highlight here is that’s completely okay!
Does everything you have ever done have to be perfect? Does everything have to be all figured out?
Does life have to be a one way path? The way you have imagined in your head?
If you answered yeah, that’s exactly how it should have been, i have to be honest with you… i thought it does to be that way too!
I used to share this very lack mindset too and maybe at a small corner of my heart, i do hope that it all works out exactly the way i imagined life would be.
If it does then congratulations ! Your life is set!
But is it??
Goals change and goalposts change
At some point we recognize the fact that we have a long way ahead and that one loss most of the time wont make or break you .
Your childhood struggles were most likely about getting good grades, at college getting that internship, as adulting sets in MONEY (my favourite)
well into your 30’s , success to you is who you marry and if you are married to your dream partner, and then having kids and providing for them ,and life moves on!
It truly does not wait for anyone does it?
You might fall flat ,head first onto the floor but you can definitely recognize the diamonds hidden under all the dirt much clearer down there isn’t it?
Sometimes counting your blessings no matter how big or small makes you appreciate how lucky we truly are!
You and me are definitely better off that at least 90% of the worlds population
We have the internet at our finger tips, a roof over our heads, a degree, and if you are reading this blog most likely you are a curious soul who is trying to better themselves, heal and find peace.
You are probably a reader which to be honest puts you at a significant advantage at life.
I don’t think we are able comprehend how ahead of the curve we already are and yet ,never try to truly leverage the resources we were given to begin with.
Moving on , not feeling guilt or regret is truly a very hard process.
Feeling that if only i did that one thing…
Or
If only i worked a little harder has truly killed tons and tons of dreams, its definitely killed a few of mine….
But its time to move on and learn from our mistakes and patters which are/were holding you back
By the end of reading this i encourage each and everyone of you no matter where you are at life to note the voices which keep telling you “oh i wish” or “if i did this a little better”
Note them all down ,and if you have to, feel all those feelings again and them let go
Acknowledge the fact that we cant turn back time and always remember what ever was not meant for us will not come to us, and that’s always for your benefit.
What ever energy you put into the world is exactly what you receive and conceive as reality.
So look at the positives and forgive our past selves, we are wiser now and we definitely know a lot more than yesterday. That’s the way to look at life!
Realize that at least you and me know where we went wrong and that’s really a very good start, appreciate yourself for identifying these emotions because you know what ? 90% of the worlds population do not realize their mistakes and blame it on others/ circumstances/religious sentiments etc.
We know where we are and if you ever feel you have hit rock bottom ,just know its only an upward curve from here!
Its not easy, definitely not …..but we will make it through all the tough times by moving on , letting go , start forgiving and by taking action today! This very moment could change everything you have ever know so change now ,appreciate yourself and take time off for showing your self the love and the type of life you always wanted and trust me the best version of yourself will truly thank you.
