4 Hard Truths About Being Human ( POWERFUL )

in #life9 years ago
Being human means you will make mistakes. And you will make mistakes, because failure is the Universe´s  way of moving you in another direction.



Today is a great day. Not because the weather was nice or something incredible happened. I am always busy trying to get the best version of myself. I try to wake up with a positive mindset and show as much love as possible for the people around me. It´s not always easy especially not when you are addicted to sunshine and warm days just like me and live in a country where it rains 70% of the day. I am surrounded by grey-ish clouds, low temperatures and literally no sunshine. Reason enough to go back to bed and sleep for another 8 hours. But this is exactly what you shouldn´t do! There are so many reasons why you could be happy, thankful and blessed and many ways. Only if you start to appreciate the little things, bigger will follow....


Do you think being a human is easy? Well, I dont. Being a human is actually very difficult. To be a human you got to be courageous, you got to be brave, you got to face your fears and nobody tells us how to do it properly.


Let me show you a few things that helped me to become a better version of myself.


1. Disappointment 

The first hard truth is that people are going to disappoint you. It´s a fact that you need to understand and except because you will always have someone entering into your life who is later going to disappoint you. See, your friends haven´t even called you which they wanted to do but just forgot. You will come into a relationship where your partner leaves you disappointed. Even your financial situation will disappoint you. Your family and friends might disappoint you and maybe you are also going to disappoint yourself. I have realized that we often get disappointed because we have huge expectations what others should be doing for us. But the hard truth that I learned is that nobody owes you anything. Minimal expectations will increase your happiness!



2. Keep the word

How many times have you been around someone who tells you they are are going to do something and then they don´t? You asked what happened and they simply answer "Oh I just forgot, I´m sorry..." Humans make mistakes, and it´s okay to make mistakes. Many people you interact with won´t keep their word! What helped me along the journey was to think differently. I thought - "I get it. I get it." There are plenty of people who won´t keep their word but it doesn´t change what I can do. I am going to practice to keep my word in every situation. Stop being so concerned about what other people are doing or aren´t doing. Be more concerned about what you are doing and that will help you become your greatest version.



3. You´ve being programmed your whole life

School lied to you, television lied to you, the cat down the road didn´t though. Nature hasn´t lied to you. Nature is the truth and that´s why I feel so grounded in nature. It was a hard pill to swallow once I realized my entire life had been a lie. Everything I have learned in school doesn´t matter now. However, how I freed myself - I got a whole new education. Education means to bring out and why are we forced feeding children information that gives them more kind of mental disorders? I realized that my life had been a lie but that´s not going to stop me to learn what I really want to learn. You can just stop blaming the system and taking responsibility to say actually today I am going to learn something that no one has ever taught me before. 



4. Taking Advice

You always should remind yourself that friends and family can only give you an advice based on their conditioning. Yes, my mom used to tell me stuff, my brother used to tell me stuff. They didn´t realize "Wait a minute, this is a program running from everything they got taught" And this goes on and on...

How I liberated myself is to think that nothing is as personal as you think. People are only giving you advices based on what they know. Based on what they think will help you. Based on their belief-system. So, whenever someone gives me an advice, a close family member or a friend, I know they are going to give me an advice based on their knowledge, based on their condition, based on their religion and based on what they believe. It is hard to understand but if you realize that it´s not that personal, you are going to become much happier!



This were actually just a few facts out of 10 that I recently thought about. Life is just too short to deal with negativity and stress. I love these kind of posts because my readers appreciate the work I put into these blogs a lot and show so much love in the comments which really makes me smile every single time. These are only advices from my personal experiences. Feel free to add these steps into your life and let me know if anything changed. 


Thanks for reading

Stay focused 

Love, Soldier

A wonderful post and all four arguments are absolutely relevant in our time for any person. Now it is very easy to make mistakes, because time flies rapidly and it is not always possible to understand what is happening in our world, which causes problems. Thank you for mentioning this topic @soldier, we have everything to think about!

Beautiful. Your post reminds me for the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

1)Be Impeccable with your word
2)Don't take anything personally
3)Don't make assumptions
4)Always do your best!

If you haven't read this book do so now! It's one of my favorites. I try my best to live my life by these rules.

Namaste Chica 🙏🏻 😉 ❤️

@donnaincancun I love this book. If only this was part of the high school curriculum that might have a greater impact than home ed. Best wishes.

I totally agree. Children should be taught kindness and meditation in school. They should also learn about real world things like balancing a check book, investing and calculating taxes. Schools just teach kids to make good employees and join the rat race. It's sad.

Thanks for spreading the positivity! Lately I need it most, It’s always good to come on here and see awesome people like you preaching the good vibes. I think it all comes down to self-love which can be really hard to find for some.

Hey my friend your thoughts are really motivational and it motivates me to do what I want to do and at same time anytime I had also put excuses to not to do something which I want to do so from now I will do work on myself

@soldier Great post. I agree with you that we have all being programmed. I strongly believe that if a person can manage to find happiness in the simple little things, the bigger things will just be a bonus. Best wishes :)
