I thought that Life was about…

Judging other people is easy. What about looking at yourself in the mirror and being honest for once in your lifetime?

Since I left my job in 2015, I was looking for THE job that will make me happy. The One that will bring meaning in my life. I tried many things like life coaching, calligraphy, editing pictures, crochet. None of them lasted more than 3 months. For most people, they would judge my career path as a failure (and this was something I thought myself too), but actually, the answer was right in front of me.

When 2017 began, I couldn’t see how it could end on a positive note but here I am at the very last day of 2017:

I’ve been pushing myself too hard lately to make things work in some aspects of my life that now I’m having a burnout 🙁

Back in 2015, I remember reading a looooot of articles about “how to be successful?”. (I had this weird obsession about successful entrepreneurs… lol) There were many “secrets” like doing meditation, waking up early in the morning or journaling.

Even though you know that it’s useless to dwell on negative stuff, sometimes it’s just too much. And the pain you were keeping only for yourself, suddenly explodes. You start to cry as if it was the end of your world when actually it’s just the beginning. The beginning of a new chapter where you are the hero and you’re stronger than ever.

You can never know for sure how things are going to unfold in your life. There will always be some part of uncertainty in whatever decision you’re gonna make.

When you look around, there’s always something missing. A lover, a pet, new clothes, a new smartphone, …  You never feel complete until you have them but once you do, you’re back in that unsatisfied state.

No matter how much we plan our lives, at some point something will go wrong. And when it happens, you have two options: you either deal with it and go with the flow or blame the entire world and dwell on your situation.
