“Finding answers isn’t everything.�
We don’t always know why things happen. Disappointments and difficulties may never be explained. For example, you may never fully understand why management passed you up for a promotion or why a partner left you for someone else. No doubt there will be times in your life when you are left scratching your head trying to figure out, “Why?�
Letting go when there is no understanding that “Why?� is very hard. Our culture places such emphasis on finding answers. But, finding answers isn’t everything. Your life should not stop when you don’t understand events. Instead, you must learn to let go.
So, get on with your life. Regain your energy and passion. Let go of the frustration of asking “Why?� and you clear the deck for a brighter future!
Make every day count
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high.
Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, Injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.
Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back, unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things.
Show the world
The way to get people thinking highly of you is to stop worrying about what they think. The most impressive person you can be is your true, authentic self.
People will quickly tire of you telling them only what you assume they want to hear. To have truly momentous impact, tell them what you really think and know and feel.
You are delightfully unique and that uniqueness provides you with more than enough great value to last a lifetime. Follow your intuition, be who you truly are, and allow that value to freely flow.
Breathe in the sweet, fresh air of possibility in each new moment. The happier you allow yourself to be, the more great things you can give to all of life.
The opinions of others can be interesting and instructive. Just be sure not to let someone else’s opinion limit you or define you.
Get up, go forward and show the world the fascinating, unique person you really are. Live life on your own terms, from your own perspective, and create your very own greatness.
