no boring details needed.
just things that, a year ago, would have completely destroyed me.
but not now.
i have to admit, i am surprised by {and totally proud of} how i have responded to the events.
surprised by my own strength.
the difference?
my constant decision to think differently about things.
to realise when things are out of my control, and
to let go of those things.
my decision, every day, to live without a sense of entitlement
- i should've had that, or
- i deserve that
to be grateful for the things i do have
and to be patient....knowing that one day i may have the things i've always hoped for.
so basically, a lot of 'mental' hard work.
it isn't always easy, but the more i think this way - the easier it gets.
i have noticed a real difference.
life truly is easier when you learn to let go of things beyond your control.
things you can't avoid or change.
i know that:
life isn't always going to be fair.
things are going to happen.
things that hurt.
things that disappoint.
but, when you learn to control the only thing you can
~ your response to those things ~
life is so much better.
life is happier.
life can actually be good again.
no regrets. just love
