If I don't choose to create my own happiness, maybe when I write this post, I'm still sad and blaming anyone even anything. The situations that occur sometimes are not what I expected, I have felt hopeless, have been humiliated, and have even been at the lowest point in life. But indeed life is about choices. We can choose to stay sad or move on to create our own happiness.
I always promise to myself. Not for anyone else. "I'm gonna make it." So no matter what, I want to make sure I'm not running back in time to go back in time. For me, the past is not as pleasant as the present because we live in the present.
It is necessary to promise to yourself, not to parents, or even those we care about. We are responsible for our own lives.
Happiness or sadness is one's own responsibility. So it's important to continue to learn to forgive ourselves when we feel that we have made mistakes that make our lives more difficult in the present.
There are times when life gives us a destiny we don't expect, even one we don't want. But our job is to accept it, learn the path, and then create new things that can make us feel better and happier than before.
I realized there were places where I became a complainer who felt the path before I was very different from the path of others. There was a time where I felt I wasn't going to make that. But those were the times where I learned to believe in myself, learned to accept what life gave me.
Then after being able to accept, I finally knew the answers to why everything seemed too late, but it turned out that nothing was too late. Everything feels beautiful and on time, it's just that we need to be patient. Just that.
There are many problems in my personal life that I don't show on my blog. I always put a smile on my blog as much as possible, because I want to share happiness, not sadness. Some of my close friends know what I'm going through.
I'm glad I managed to make things easier. How do I get through it? I just learned not to reject anything life throws at me. When everything feels not according to my expectations, I try to find another point of view that can be wise.
I have always believed, it is always good in the midst of suffering. If we fail to see the good things, maybe all we see is bad and creates regret.
I made it easier because I felt my soul deserved peace. I don't want to complicate things by denying reality. I avoid talking about presuppositions that might have been changed in the past.
Still wondering about what possibilities could be changed in the past, it would only waste my time. So instead of dwelling on the past, I'd better think about the best possible things I can do as a solution to the suffering I'm currently experiencing.
Congratulations on the start of the day in the new year. Although there are some moments of sadness among all of us, I always believe there is one good thing to be grateful for.
I hope that in 2022 we will be able to achieve the best that we deserve. And we can be kept away from all the worst possibilities that we do not want. Even if later there will be suffering that comes, I hope we can all go through it patiently to make it all a new path to beauty.
I promise not to walk backward, because I believe, things that are ahead are waiting for me to pick up that beauty.
Happy New Year, Hivers!
