Thank you again, @Galenkp for another great opportunity to share our ideas and to challenge ourselves in a way to keep becoming better. Yes, I get better when I am challenged and I keep looking forward to interesting updates in the #TheWeekend community.
First thing first, I am not who I was in the past and yes, I am so happy with the way my personal life stands at this current moment. This is a sign of happiness for me because learning and growth are always taking place in my life each day.
A few weeks ago, I was just reminiscing on my past and how I have changed and become who I am even without me knowing that it would be this way today. I had to write a short post on my WhatsApp status as I was inspired to talk to someone out there.
I love writing something about myself and trying to encourage another person who could be struggling too, making them aware that our journey in life wouldn't go beyond God's knowledge except that the decision we make sometimes might delay things for us.
Decisions shape our lives and I am thinking I made the right decision, if not all because it is impossible to take “all right” without having it wrong in some aspect of our lives.
Just like the book I am reading presently “think and grow rich” by Napoleon Hills. He said that temporary defeat doesn't mean it's a permanent failure until you announce yourself as a failure.
I have a lot of stories to share where I have been defeated, but I didn't let that get into me because I am this gentle type that easily forgives and forgets whatever happens. I pick up myself again, looking for another path to take, just to become someone better, even if I haven't achieved all.
I never pronounced myself as a failure because as long as I have all my body parts working, wouldn't I put them to good use to help me live the good life I want?
I don't think I would change anything about myself, but to improve in some aspects so I can continue living and envisaging a better future ahead.
Albeit, if I need to change anything, then it would be my high temperament. I won't stop saying I get angry even though I am always trying my possible best to adjust, but there is no how one wouldn't get angry at least. There is a need for self-control, especially when dealing with people who are bent on bringing out the other side of you.
One of the things I so much love about myself is that I easily create peace whenever there is a conflict or one is about to suffice. Make peace wherever you meet yourself...I think this is something every one of us should always look forward to instead of engaging in fights with everybody.
There is a way to manage your temper just like how I have been practicing. It is to be calm even before speaking out and find ways to settle with the other person so that at the end of the day, you both would be at a win-win stage.
In conclusion,
I would say I love my life as it is because I never believed I could get to this stage of my life, and like I said earlier, my decision I think brought me here and I wouldn't mind being careful not to choose the wrong path, and if at all it happens, I should be able to learn from my mistakes and keep going until I get to where I want my life to be and that would be in the future.
Since I have gotten here with God's guidance, then I think the future shouldn't be confused for me or make me feel unrest because I trust God to lead me on the right path and by that time, I would still be able to point to the screenshot above about my life.
