A one day at a time thoughts may be negative, we doubt ourselves, being eaten up by our own thoughts and emotions. Sadly, by calling the universe all the negativity we manifest them, and when we become the victims of circumstances we start to ask ourselves these questions;
“Did I do it right? Did I do it wrong?
Was my decision right or not?
Am I in the right path or not?
Should I quit? Should I continue?
Is everything just a plain routine?
What should I do? What am I? Who am I?
I don’t know what will happen to me In the next 5 or 10 years.”
We all have different impediments in life. We even have our own thoughts that challenge us and our bodies that manifest what our minds feed. When we feed our minds with negative thoughts, we see the world differently. We question our daily events but we do not dare to understand them. Understanding takes time and effort. You must get to know yourself first, accept, and challenge. Treat yourself as a plant that someday will bloom flowers. Imagine these flowers are your mindset, characteristics, traits, and skills. The more you take care of these, the happier you will become.
It is never too, late, to change and do things, one day at a time. See things from a different perspective, understand, accept and respond accordingly.
I just know what I have is, today. A day where I can always restart and do something that may or may not be beneficial to me. A day that may not be significant today but may be significant tomorrow.
Now, I’m trying to slow my pace and always bear these Japanese Concepts in my mind;
Instead of comparing ourselves to others. We should be focusing more on our personal growth. Life is a Marathon not a race.
Accept and Let go those non-modifiable. Let us just accept, some things can neither be controlled nor changed, the best way to handle is to, simply move forward.
