One of my major defaults is impatience. I would like to get everything NOW!! But in life great things are not easy to get. It does not only take time, but you may need to make hard decisions. Sometimes you need to fight, give up certain things that are important for you. And you may go through tough times, filled with frustration and distraction. But in the end something great is waiting for you.
In the search for happiness it is essential that you enjoy the journey as well, and should not keep focus on the destination only. Thinking WHEN i get that position, I WILL BE HAPPY, WHEN I get in a beautiful relationship, I will be even happier. It just makes you suffer. Reality does not always follow your dreams. But it is your own choice if you want to be a victim in the given situation. Or would rather grasp the moment and suck everything out of it.
Yeah, we all try to control things. It's human nature. We are scared of death, therefore we try to build security around us. But we are only fooling ourselves. We are going to die anyways. And we will not get any information when that precious moment would come. We just need to accept that there are things out of our control. There is only one thing you can control. Your own mind.
Among my quotation selection I found a nice one from anonym sources: "When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat and dispear are the tools God uses to show us the way."
I am walking on my path a while ago. And yes, i can confirm it does involve lots of suffering and disappointment. But I had to realize that all the disappointment is coming from my own expectations. I started to build up a nice picture in my head, created a path towards it, everything well planned. But eventually reality is not following that map!!! It sucks that things do not happen the way they should have. I had such a beautiful picture in my mind about my future, and those images are now falling apart.
With all these thoughts, I can suck myself down into a deep, black hole.
It is so easy to start thinking of yourself as a victim. But if you start thinking that way you can easily get into a down-roll spiral, that will never stop. It sucks!!!
Nowadays I don't let this down-roll spiral to culminate. Something clicks in my mind. And I can let go of this suffering by accepting WHAT IS. The power of acceptance is amazing. Of course you cannot force yourself to accept your present situation by simply wanting it. The insight can come in an unexpected moment, from within. And it brings you a freedom and opens up a whole different reality.
There were already several cases when reality did not follow the path i pictured in my head. But eventually the way things turned out was even better than how I imagined it. Therefore now I have a strong belief. Even though I'm suffering for a while because my expectations were not met, I can trust that there are even better things on the way for me. I believe. I trust. I know.
My dreams did not yet materialize, but I decided to rather accept who i am, where i am and what i do. Instead of suffering.
We have no other feasible option than to accept the current situation.
And prepare ourselves for the expected change.
Once we accept who we are and where we are, things start to change around us.
And once we are ready for that, the universe starts to manifest our dreams.
Until dreams become reality.
Don't forget one thing: You are bound for great things. And those are on the way for you. You just need to be patient. And accept the current situation.
