Everything good that happens in life come
with a price. That was my motto before. I was afraid to be happy because I was
afraid that something bad might come in my way. I always thought of the
negative things before something happens. In that case I will not expect
anything. I will not be disappointed if I do not get want I want. It was hard
to be that person who does not expect anything because you just live there at
the moment. I do not see myself being successful. Those times were rough
because I do not care to anyone or to myself. It’s been my attitude for almost eighteen years. Because of that, I
feel like I just wasted my eighteen years of existence. I did nothing in my
life that was meaningful because I was afraid of the consequences that might
come after the happiness that I will experience.
It came to the point that I realized I
needed to change my attitude or views in my life because I was wasting my time
and my life. I talked to my friend and I told her everything. She reminded me
the things that I did to make some people happy or the effects of my advice for
them to continue their journey when they feel like giving up already. It took
me weeks to realize all the things that I did for them. I thought that she was
right. I need to be positive. From that moment, I change my views in my life. I
already take chances. I fixed myself. I go back to school. I dream big for my
future. I became happier. I care to everybody. Everything changed. But the most
important thing that happened was I loved myself even more. I can proudly say
that being optimistic made a sense in my life.
I use to always have the same views for a short period of time. I always thought that my happiness would be taken away. It just filled me with negativity, but I figured as long as I fill myself with positive thoughts, it would be hard to take my happiness away. Also I figured if I’m only given happiness for a short period of time I might as well make the best of it.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for changing your opinion. It's better to look at the good in life instead of the bad.
ReplyDeleteBeing positive about yourself isn't easy to do. You have to overcome all of your doubts and see through the faults you have. I'm happy for you that you're more positive about your life, so keep at it. It's hard, but giving up is going to take a toll on you that is equally, if not, worse than the consequences you think you'll endure.
ReplyDeleteThere are consequences to everything but not all are bad. I believe in good karma and good things that are givin to you because you deserve them. I'm glad you changed your point of view.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful that you made the decision to change your views. There is some truth to the idea that good things come with a price, but it can't be the only thing that we focus on; so good for you, making a change.
ReplyDeleteI sympathize with you. I think its great that you decided to change your perspective on life. Not taking any chances isn't a good way to live!
ReplyDeleteI used to feel the exact same way. Every time something good came, something bad followed. But that is life. We must see the good in those "bad" situations. I believe Everything happens for a reason. A good reason.
