How to regain control of your life with patience and courage
In some way, we've all been hurt or hurt ourselves. This suggests that the damage was unconscious or, sadly, conscious.
However, each person gives their own stories the importance they believe they have because the damage we inflict others is relative. Some people are deeply affected by something we may merely consider a setback, and vice versa. Understanding that all situations deserve respect is human.
We must let go of suffering to live in peace with ourselves. Understanding that accepting what has transpired is our only option is challenging, but it is achievable. We shall be rewarded if we do.
We talk a lot about how pain is bad, so it's natural to try to escape it when it threatens to become closer or invades us. No one wants unpleasant events to upset their emotional equilibrium and make them feel like they've plummeted into a hole with no way out. We have some means to overcome hardship, but we are never ready.
Even if we accept the potential, we don't simply adapt to the hits. We've long said that hard knocks teach.
Learning from our experiences is like planting small seeds from which we must harvest the priceless fruits if we want to go forward in life. From this perspective, it's important to suffer to learn and completely experience life.
Failure is good for learning how good success is. Crying opens our sight and calms our emotions. Travelling has ups and downs, so be prepared. Sometimes lows are good if they teach us how to climb up.
We feel trapped in the bottom of a deep well, unable to escape. Indeed, this sensation haunts us when we fail to overcome the past.
We live in a world where this misery is no longer, but it sometimes hurts us. If this happens, we haven't put all our experiences behind us and must. We must remember that preventing the past from harming us is key.
Who remembers suffering when it's gone?
In spirit and flesh, she is only a shadow.”
Atwood, Margaret
We'll know we've reached this milestone when we look back and see only a recollection that no longer hurts or controls us. We deserve to overcome this and forgive ourselves or others.
Though suffering temporarily takes over our life, we may restore it with patience and courage. You control the rudder and pick the course.
With our bag full of useful feelings, we'll discard the useless. We lost track, but we're back on track and don't get lost again. If this happens by chance, we'll find our way.
