Life is weirdly similar and dissimilar at the same time. We have different experiences and expectations from life but our needs and the essence of life remain the same. We need love and support but also face heartache and betrayal at some stage in our life. And, more often than not, we make it harder for ourselves by not realizing the simple truths of life. There is much hard-hitting truth that we learn to accept very late in life.
1. Life is full of uncertainty.
Life is not a straight road. It is full of curves, ups and downs, and thorns, and a bed of roses. Just as many people are temporary in your life, the situations are also momentary. If you are happy, sad moments will also come. If you are at the bottom part of your life, happiness is still within your reach. Friendship, love, the job will also come and go. Ergo, utilize your life to the fullest. Live and love.
2. It is all in your head.
Life is easy if you think it is easy. It is difficult if you think it is difficult. Our perspective on life matters. It is the way you approach your life based on what you have been taught and life experiences. When we are happy, we see things in a positive light. Similarly, when we are upset, things appear bleak. our current perspective on life is not the only way to approach life. So keep an open mind.
3. The power of choice.
You have a choice. It is your weapon and defense. Every action we take is a choice that we make. If you choose to stay in bed even after the alarm went off, it is by choice. Similarly, even if the situations are daunting or overwhelming, we have a choice. We can move out of your situations, toxic people, bad jobs, poverty if you make a concise effort towards it. We can either stay helpless or work towards the desired outcome. Take ownership of your action by acknowledging the power of every small decision.
4. Your friends will leave you.
Your close friends will drift away with time. People with whom you were closer once, will become strangers. You might still be together with a few of your friends after a long time but not all. It is a part of growing up. Some will move on with their life, move on to different cities for work or marriage and it might never be the same. There is nothing wrong with it. We all walk our own path and it might not overlap with our friends in the future. Nothing is permanent. Our thoughts and experiences are the only things that are left with us.
5. You will always find a helping hand.
Don't be scared to ask for help. There are many support systems and destinations from where you can find the answers that you seek. People are always surrounded by their own bubble, fighting their own battles. So, they won't notice what you need unless you tell them. You might some jerks along the way. But there are always good people who are eager to help us in need without wanting anything in return.
6. Our viewpoints are different.
We see the world as we are. If we have a positive outlook towards life, we believe others to be the same. If we are conspiring something, we again believe others to do the same. We construct our own reality of the world in our heads. Everyone else decodes it through their own eyes guided by their experiences and teachings. W give our own meanings and conclusions to things that we encounter in life.
