Three simple ways to have a more interesting and enriching life.
Tell the truth.
Say what you mean.
Don’t do things you hate.
Thoughts about turning your
resentment into resilience.
A recipe for becoming a self-reliant, immovable force.
We all want to feel strong, empowered, confident and ready to take the world head on, but more often than not, we are a mixed bag of worry and concern about our day-to-day existence. It’s time to make some time.
There is nothing more thoughtless than a life unexamined. Make some time in your day to confront your existence. Think about the people and problems in your life that you believe are holding you back, weighing you down and making you miserable.
Step 1
Separate fact from fiction. Think objectively about why you are feeling burdened. If you are bitter, angry or believe that life should be treating you better, examine that. If your heart is hardening and you are disenfranchised with the world, proceed with intelligent caution. Strive to understand that part of the problem might be you. Maybe you just need to grow up, mature a little. Perhaps you are whining about your resentment towards someone, instead of truly owning and accepting your part. How can you be better, stronger, smarter about this problem? Stand up for your better self.
Step 2
Humbly face your enemies and your problems in a brave new way. Once you have sorted out the part you are playing in the anger game and you are ready to own that bit of it, you must know what you want and need and have the courage to ask for it. You cannot move forward without first forgiving yourself and making a pact with your soul never to betray yourself again. Next. Do the thing that most of us never want to do. Pick the right place and the right time and humbly open up and confront those who aren’t respecting you. So often we play out conversations in our heads, but we don’t actually have them. We aren’t brave enough to actually speak the words. It’s time to learn how to do just that. Let others know what you need and specifically what would make the situation better.
Step 3
Then put it down. Shed those past grievances. Release your clenching grip of control. Practice and proceed with intelligent caution. Start fresh and move forward with realistic optimism about your future.
