Before now there were lots of things I used to be worried about, materially and mentally, although the worry is still there but not to a great percent or much effect.
I could go about beating myself up and whining about the things I couldn't achieve, the things that were out of my control, or even things beyond my reach. I usually get so worked up when my efforts seem wasted or underappreciated or rewarded. I hated the fact that some humans could be so heartless and this usually caused me heartaches at times because even after seeing your struggles, they don't do or say anything about it. They don't even care less if you are hurting inside or not.
No matter how much you try to live up to a standard that society defines as perfect, your life will always be like a roller coaster because you accepted perfection based on society's definition.
My Minimalist Mindset And Views
Good or bad, happy or sad, minimal or maxima, I simply let myself enjoy every process. I consciously unburdened myself, I created a room for and embrace positivity, that at every mile I will pause, look back and be grateful for every process while enjoying every bit of it too.
I embraced a positive mindset as if my whole life depended on it. I saw situations that wouldn't naturally yield the best result but I kept my mind fixed on the positive output, I went beyond what my instincts presented before me and believed anything could turn around for my good.
Situations that were meant to overwhelm me and cause me pains sometimes turn around for my good because I didn't let them get to me or bother me much.
I defined perfection based on my process most times and not really about the result.
I understand how much society cares about the result of something and only celebrates that, but in my subconsciousness, I celebrate my process, and I define my success based on that and not really the result.
This is because it's only I that knows the things I have been through to even arrive at the result. It's only I that can tell the stories of all my struggles, the storms, the headaches, and how much I beat myself up so many times to get to wherever I am.
I celebrate those more and after seeing the result of all my hard work, I simply encourage myself and say that it was worth it after all
And because of this too, I tend to encourage people around me when I see their efforts and all their struggles to make meaning out of life. Because I know how it feels to not be seen or encouraged by the people you desire that from. I allow them to see reasons why I believe whatever it is they are up to and put their mind in will certainly yield good results someday if not soonest and if only they believe. I consciously allow them to see reasons and be optimistic as well, trusting themselves and their process.
