Learning what Matters Most

-

 

    The most important things in life are the ones that benefit you in the long run: the people, events, etc. Part of being human is dwelling on things that seem important at the time. I catch myself falling into that all the time, and it's something I'm working on. Albeit, it's something we're all working on. Sometimes experiences are given to us to help us figure out the things that really matter in life. There are some things that are subjective and don't have anything to do with us, and sometimes they're experiences we don't need right now; that's something I'm always trying to remind myself. 

  As I mentioned in my previous post, surround yourself with good quality people, and I stand by that when I speak of things that matter. Be around people who make you happy and uplifted. It's not worth being around people who make you feel bad about yourself and who cut you down. I've never understood people who did that. 

This summer has taught me important lessons about remembering what matters most; more specifically spending time with important people like family. Those experiences are ones that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Live in the moment and appreciate.

Being Strong in a Chaotic World

We are often told by the world that we are weak. No matter what challenges you face, remember that you possess the strength to overcome them. You are enough, just as you are. Believe in yourself and the possibilities that await you. You have the power to create a life that you love and to be your own source of strength and joy. It’s okay to be scared and feel negative emotions, it means you are human. The world hasn’t gone soft, but it’s making expressing emotions more vital to physical and mental health. There is nothing weak about being vulnerable. I strongly disagree with the notion that showing emotions and vulnerability is a sign of weakness. Johnny Depp said this amazing quote about vulnerability, “People cry not because they’re weak, it’s because they’ve been strong for too long.”

Patience

-
I have lived in Arizona for about four months now and it has been a big change, but I know it was for my own good. It was a plan B after getting out of a toxic relationship. I don’t know what the next few months will bring, but I’m doing my best to be optimistic and patient. I have always been a believer that things happen for a reason and they do. Having patience is the best way to go. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

My 2023

-
My biggest lesson this year has been that life does not always go as planned. My plan for this year was to settle down and get married, but after realizing the toxic nature of the relationship, I left and started a new life in Arizona. As a result of my fear of the unknown, I found it difficult to take this step.  But with the support of close friends and my determination to create a better future for myself, I made the courageous decision to leave it all behind and start over. I discovered new things about myself and how capable I am to be successful in life. I was also inspired creatively and I discovered new hobbies.  I made new friends and made new connections. I can’t wait to see what 2024 will have in store. I will go into this new year with an open mind and heart.
