It’s Never Too Late To Say “what So? “
Things do not always go well. Is your relationship not going so well? Do you not get along with your parents ? Do you feel that no one loves or respects you? Does your job suck? Did you have a complicated childhood or adolescence? If these and other things drag you down, it’s because you let them do it. However, it is never too late to take the reins of your life again.
The way you confront your problems and focus on what comes next is what makes the difference. It does not matter how long your ghosts haunted you, and it does not matter how long you have been trying to overcome your fears. It also does not matter what you think others are trying to impose on you. It’s never too late to say, ‘So what?’
Understand to accept, accept to restore yourself
Accepting the situation is the only thing that allows you to recover yourself. Only when you accept that things are the way they are and not how you want them to be, will you find the necessary tools to face reality. Play the game with the cards you have been dealt. You cannot select or shuffle the deck.
To play your cards, however, you need to understand the rules of the game, the strategy of the other players and the obstacles that arise. It does not matter if it is a logical explanation. This is not about rationalizing the situation. It does not matter if you do not share, if you do not agree or if you do not understand why. What matters is that by accepting what you have been given, you will finally be able to recover yourself, because you know where you came from.
Let go of your luggage
We cannot change what we have lived through or what has happened to us, but we can change the way we approach what comes our way. We can even change the way we confront ourselves. That is why the first thing we should do is forgive ourselves. You have to let go of your luggage to be able to move on.
Things are not the way you want them to be? So what? If you can not do anything about it, why let it absorb all of you? Why do you let it continue to define you? It’s never too late to change the way you look at things.
It’s never too late to start again, to fall in love again, to make your dreams come true, to do what you want, to discover yourself from within. It’s never too late to let go of your luggage, no matter how much you have accumulated in your emotional backpack or how hard you cling to it.
If so, leave it at that
Insisting on changing things is not always an available choice or option. In reality, it is the only person you can change yourself. Just by changing yourself, there is a chance that you will inspire someone else to change. But until that change happens voluntarily, there is nothing left to do.
Other times, circumstances are what they are, and you can do nothing to avoid them or change them. So you have to adapt, wait and not worry so much about things you can not do. There are many other things you should focus on in the meantime. Such as preparing for what is to come.
Move forward without carrying the weight of things you should leave behind
If you do not stop looking back, you will miss the good things that await you along the way. Things do not have to remain the same. You also do not have to forget them. You just have to let them go, give them their place in your story, without dragging them with you for every step you take.
Perhaps your mistakes and your story are unforgettable and invincible to the rest of the world. Maybe you do not receive the love you want around you. But the only thing that really matters is that you forgive yourself, that you love yourself.
Do not be dramatic. You do not have the life you expected? So what? What you have is full of opportunities, but you will only see them when you stop looking back in the wrong direction.
