Beating Fate

Beating Fate

More than once in our lives, we are faced with a situation where hardships seem to fill our day, and everything feels bleak and hopeless. It is during those times that it is important to remember these undeniable truths about life itself.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. The old saying encapsulates this truth but forgets to mention one thing – to be able to overcome pain, you must embrace it and allow it to pass over you. If you try to ignore the pain, you’ll end up losing a part of yourself, a part that is very difficult to reconnect with later. Accept the hardship, explore your pain, and once the waves of sadness die down, you will be given a new lease on life. In short, pains help you grow stronger.
Fears will only get stronger if you let it. You are always in control of your fear, so don’t let it control you back. Fear can serve you, by keeping you alert in dangerous situations, but unless physical harm may come to you or your loved ones – you must let fear know who the boss is. Fear will beat you if you let it
When you’re pursuing your dreams, remember that patience does not mean inaction. Patience means staying on track and using each struggle as a stepping stone to realizing your dreams. It’s not going to be easy, but it will always be educational.
Life is a billion shades of grey, some darker, some lighter, but it’s never black or white. You may think that something you’re doing is good, but if you end up tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, it means that your conscience doesn’t necessarily agree. People aren’t bad, but they can do bad things. Always try and understand why the person opposite you is doing what they’re doing. They are also going through a struggle you may not be able to see. In short good and bad depending on where you look at it from and it is never completely good or bad.
Remember there are things you can’t change. You are the sum of your experiences, and you cannot change that. You can, however, change your perspective of those experiences. Try looking at “bad” experiences from another point of view, and you might realize that they weren’t all that bad, to begin with.
Finally, nothing lasts forever Love, pain, troubles, success – it is all transitory. Take joy in the good times, and accept the bad times, for they, too, shall pass.
