We never know how far we have gone until we take some time to pause and see how far we've come. Life is a gradual process and growth is one thing that is ever constant as K only if we allow ourselves to. Time also flies and before you know it without proper care, one is cut short on things that can not be amended. But any ways do not be too hard on yourself as an individual, we learn every day and that is what makes everything even more interesting.
Personally, I live according to what life pops my way, this way I am neither too expectant of anything or dissapointed... I simply live the very simple way that I can.
I know that learning and growth does not stop at any level but it is a way to see how far one has gone.
1.Be grateful
Living a grateful life is one positive thing I learnt to do. To be grateful for everything that I have and and those I never had was one big part of living. I learnt to be grateful even when I never get the things I want or even need.
A grateful heart makes it easy and possible to attract positive and great opportunities. Gratitude does not only have to come when we have the things we want; no. We should also learn to express it when we have less or nothing.
2.Creating positive vibes(aura) makes things easier.
Aura has to do with an invisible force that oozes around us or surrounds us. Some people have theirs very dintinct while others you might want to go a little closer to know theirs. But it has proven that having a positive vibe makes so many things easier and faster.
Creating and trying to spread more positivity helps both your life and others a great deal. Brings like minds your way and help you build healthy relationships.
For instance, someone with positive vibes who speaks peacefully, has a welcoming spirit and calm will definitely have things going better. Sometimes in our not so good days, we might be forced to think negative or act negatively; but having mastered to be positive all the time helps to keep negativity out and our aura good.
3.Life happens; take it as it comes.
I remembered growing up as a young girl and had so many things I wanted to do and explore but I noticed that things changes and life gives you another game to play... all it wants you to do is play. I found out well enough that living is about progress and not perfection.
Feeling stuck because life didn't come as we exactly expected does not mean everything is spoilt; take life as it comes, live it and make great achievements out of it.
4.Being alone will help you find more about yourself.
Yes I know these days no one wants to be talked into being alone. In fact we all are advised to be with friends who makes us happy, accepted and loved... yes exactly, at least it is better than being with people who do not love you. But very little people feel the need to be alone and know self better.
Interestingly, most people have not spent quality time to know more about themselves, what they need and deserve; and even try to understand themselves. It is not a bad thing to be alone or spend time alone with self. I'm not saying spending time with friends is bad or going out with friends and loved ones is wrong, but out of everything, have a date with yourself.
Spending time with myself, really helped me know so much I didn't know about myself and it lead into creating a me-time to reflect, meditate and journal my thoughts.
5.Take risks
It got to some point, I began to practice to take risks. I did because I know that life is risky It self, that one can never see a better view of life if all things are being played safe. It was hard but I summoned enough courage to. Fears came, I could not discern but I just followed my heart because I never wanted to look back and regret not taking a step further.
I found out also that some risk might not be worth it, but at the end of the day you conquered that fear in the first place into doing something unique and different; gradually this is how one masters to take bigger risks and making great dreams come to reality.
6.Do not be afraid to start again.
Starting again seemed like the hardest purnishment to give a child, especially when that particular child had gone afar ahead with his mates, suddenly the teacher says, "counsel that and start over". I can imagine how fraustrated and devastated that child will be.
That is the same way life comes at us sometimes. So many people gets engrossed in trying to beat their friends and colleagues in life and ends up making mistakes or ignoring the most important things they're supposed to have taken note of. If life calls you to start all over, do not be afraid or pained to.
Sometimes starting again gives us the opportunity of righting our wrongs and fixing all the things we never had the chance in the first place.
Everyday we learn new things that would help us pass through the storm of life. Nothing life throws at us is really a waste,and no knowledge is. That is why we have to pay good attention to our day to day activities to see if positive growth is taking place.
Remember life is aboout progress and does not need to be about perfection. Where ever you stop today... pick up from tomorrow. Life is a teacher, we the students will continue to study and never be graduates until we are no more.
Have a beautiful and prosperous September. I remain yours truly.
