Waiting






We are all waiting for something. Something to change our lives for the better. A better job, partner, relationships or environment etc. We keep on waiting and hoping for a better something. 

 

Having hope is good. In fact that's the only thing that keeps us going. We are all going towards some destination hoping that situations and people will see us or react differently towards us. Sometimes waiting can be tedious and tiring, especially when a great deal of work is put towards it. Everyone just keeps saying it's going to turn out for the better. But have you even wondered why you are not already in a better situation. What is holding you back? Why have you not put yourself in that better situation yet? Or maybe you are already there and you haven't noticed it. Better than you were a few years, months or weeks ago.

 

Think of all the situations, the experiences and challenges we have dealt with. We are better for it. We have come out stronger than we think. We and the people around us only see what we have been through and only how difficult our life has been and maybe add a little sympathy to it. We don't need sympathy. We have survived. We lived through our experiences and learnt and grown from it. However, alot of us don't realise it. We have been shaped by and become who we are because of what we have been through.


I am as guilty as the next person when it comes to procastination. I have lots of things that need to be done running through my mind constantly and yet nothing gets done. "Later" is what I tell myself. There is still time and I don't need to hurry. Ultimately, it boils done to 3 things; laziness, the lack of interest or the fear of failure. How do I get myself to move? "What's the worse that can happen?" And "Let's do this". Alot of times I just spontaneously start off things. Planning never worked for me because of those 3 things that pops up and stops me. I stop myself.

 

So go right ahead. Do what you need to do. Be spontaneous for a change and see how things go. Nothing lasts forever, be it good or bad. But make the good things last for as long  as possible. Find joy in getting it done or moving forward. Do what you love.

Thoughts

Photography by  Aris Yanuar Setianto @ https://www.pinterest.com/ You don't have to control your thoughts, you just have to stop letting them control you - Dan Millman That voice in your head. Constantly telling us what to say, do and think. Constantly running. Never stops. Most of us live in our minds. We all do talk to ourselves whether we recognise it or not. Repeating things over and over, reminding ourselves what we need to do next, sorting out details or running through various types of scenarios that may never even happen. We define that as being prepared or being worried for what may occur. We are always occupied internally unless we are drawn into something external that is more interesting than what's going on in our heads. We get distracted by this external stuff for a bit and then we immediately go right back to where we were before. We think so much that sometimes we  become unaware of our surroundings. Engrossed in whatever is...

One of those days

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/288371182382627385/ Ever had one of those days where you don't feel like talking to anyone and you just want to be left alone? I have and these are the times when people feel the need to talk to you and have meetings and discussions.  You look unusually quiet and everyone wants to know what's wrong. There is nothing wrong. But just the lack of interest or energy to hold a proper conversation or to be your regular self. That does not mean you have fallen into depression. However, if this continues and is on a regular basis, please do talk to someone.  We don't have to be chirpy and positive all the time. There will be up and down days and we have to accept that we do get moody. Just because we project ourselves to be chirpy does not necessarily mean that's how we feel internally all the time. Sometimes we know the reason why, such as an arguement that happened the previous day or something that didn't go as you ex...

Suppressing emotions

Are we suppressing our emotions?  We do this regularly starting consciously not wanting to hurt another person and later on it becomes an unconscious habit. We keep consoling ourselves "It's ok, they don't mean to hurt me and they are just venting." or "They are just angry and they will realise what they said was wrong." Are we convincing ourselves and giving reasons for why someone can treat us badly? Sometimes we think that we are protecting them. Are we protecting them or enabling them to continue to do what they do to us? If someone else is important, aren't you as important too? The moment someone says something hurting, our minds register it. However, we don't want to believe that they would hurt us. We don't want to believe that they are pushing us away. We don't want to believe they are self-preserving.  Shouldn't we preserve ourselves more? Shouldn't we treat ourselves better? Are we not worth it? Are ...
