Tolstoy said that if you seek constant perfection, you will never be content. So it is with life. If you always have expectations of people, situations or anything else and they are not met, you yourself will drown in a glass of water and see everything black.
It’s normal to have a bad day, want it to end and turn the page. But if you remember what that bad day taught you and how much you grew from it, you’ll realize that within the bad, there is always something good.
Trees that grow slowly have the best fruit.
(Moliere)
Thinking that success is something that happens from one day to the next is not good for your mental health. You have to be patient, have discipline, and remember not to get frustrated. Remember that the path to that goal is what teaches you the most.
And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure if the storm is really over. But one thing is for sure. When you come out of the storm, you will not be the same person who came in. That’s what this storm is about.
(Haruki Murakami)
Stop complaining about how «terrible» your life is. The easiest thing is to feel like a victim and suffer and suffer. Better take responsibility for the decisions you made and that led you to where you are, and decide to move forward. Make positive changes to prevent these situations from happening again in the future.
Don’t apologize for crying. Without this emotion, you would be a robot.
(Elizabeth Gilbert)
Don’t be afraid to cry. It’s not a sign of weakness, but rather an acceptable way to let go of your upset feelings. If you let those feelings build up without letting go, you’ll have a much harder time dealing with them later..
Worrying doesn’t take away your pain for tomorrow, it takes away your strength for today.
(Corrie ten Boom)
Don’t worry about everything. It’s part of human nature to obsess over everything that can go wrong, but this will result in a self-inflicted mental nightmare..
By letting go of the things you can’t control, you’ll be able to focus on the things you can do.
The bad day will pass
George Harrison’s song says it well: “The sunrise doesn’t last all morning. A downpour doesn’t last all day.» So remember all the good things about that bad day and smile because it will end and a new one will come, with a new opportunity to not make the same mistakes and always improve..
